Update pepper information

According to  tribeneindia , India's black pepper industry is facing a turbulent 2025, as declining production and constrained supplies push prices to new highs, creating a challenging environment for both farmers and traders.

Vietnam, Brazil, Indonesia and India account for more than 80% of global black pepper production and 95% of trade. In 2024, India contributed 11% to the total global black pepper production, of which Karnataka accounted for 60%, Kerala 30%, and the remaining 10% came from Tamil Nadu and other regions.

The global pepper market has been volatile throughout 2024, with prices rising from Rs 328 per kg in January to a peak of Rs 614 per kg in June before stabilizing at Rs 512 per kg in December. According to industry experts, pepper prices could cross Rs 1,000 per kg this year.

Black pepper production in India has witnessed a significant decline due to erratic weather conditions. Unseasonal rainfall in 2024, coupled with the impacts of climate change, has adversely affected crop yields, leading to a sharp decline in total production. India is expected to produce 46,000 tonnes of pepper in 2025, down significantly from 55,000 tonnes in 2024.

Not only India, supply shortages are also occurring in other major pepper producing countries, including Vietnam and Sri Lanka, aggravating the global supply shortage.

Vietnam's pepper output decreased from 192,000 tons in 2023 to 183,000 tons in 2024 and is expected to continue to decrease to 178,000 tons in 2025. Meanwhile, Brazil's pepper output decreased from 102,000 tons in 2023 to 70,000 tons in 2024 but is expected to increase to 85,000 tons in 2025.

Additionally, Sri Lanka saw pepper production drop sharply from 20,000 tonnes in 2024 to just 14,000 tonnes in 2025.

The global supply shortage is expected to keep pepper prices high in key markets around the world, while increasing competition for high-quality Indian black pepper.

While the high price environment may benefit trade, maintaining production amid climate change and market inefficiencies remains a pressing issue for the long-term sustainability of the Indian black pepper industry.
