Update pepper information

Informing  the Industry and Trade Newspaper , Mr. Hoang Phuoc Binh - former Permanent Vice President of Chu Se Pepper Association, said that the Chinese market imports but not much.

They only import enough for immediate consumption. The reason is due to many factors related to China's economic problems, import and  export  procedures  and their policy of buying in moderation to control pepper prices.

Although pepper prices this year are still higher than last year, replanting this crop is not taking place strongly in the provinces because there is no new land or farmers are growing crops with higher economic value, so the area will be difficult to increase in 2025.

From now until the end of the year, supply and demand will remain the most important factor. The global market is still in short supply, which will support pepper prices to increase again in the medium and long term.
