Pepper Market August 9, 2025: Increase by 1,000 VND

Pepper prices today in the market fluctuated between 141,000 - 142,000 VND/kg, an increase of 1,000 VND. In the world market, pepper prices from Indonesia and Malaysia increased simultaneously. Meanwhile, pepper exports from Brazil increased sharply in 7 months but are showing signs of slowing down.

Vietnam Pepper and Spice Association (VPSA) cited Comexstat statistics saying that in July, Brazilian pepper exports reached 3,473 tons, with a turnover of 23.3 million USD. Compared to June, exports decreased by 28.2% in volume and 0.4% in value, and compared to the same period in July 2024, export volume decreased by 44.7% but turnover increased by 11.6%.

Brazil's main export markets include: India: 498 tons, Germany: 298 tons, Mexico: 291 tons, Senegal: 244 tons and Morocco: 232 tons. Notably, Vietnam's pepper  imports   from Brazil in July decreased by 79.8% compared to the previous month and reached only 163 tons.

In the first 7 months of the year, Brazil exported 53,234 tons of pepper, with a turnover of 332.9 million USD, up 26.7% in volume and 101.7% in turnover over the same period in 2024. The average export price of pepper increased by 59.2%, to 6,254 USD/ton.

Of which, Vietnam is Brazil's largest pepper export market in the first 7 months of the year, accounting for 33.3% of the market share with a volume of 17,726 tons, an increase of 177.7% over the same period in 2024. Next are the markets: India: 5,121 tons, UAE: 4,810 tons, Senegal: 3,940 tons and Morocco: 3,734 tons.

According to a recent IPC report, Brazil’s northern crop is expected to start in September, with many exporters preparing to release their products from then on. Current inventories are reported to be limited, reflecting the steady exports in the period leading up to this. This cycle could see a period of resumption of exports as the harvest begins to ramp up.

In Indonesia, initial observations indicate a decline in crop production, with some trade sources estimating a decline of up to 30%. Harvesting is expected to begin in late July to mid-August. While export flows are likely to continue during this period, strong domestic consumption could reduce inventories destined for the international market, affecting price stability.

Reports from Vietnam indicate that the 2025 crop is generally favorable, with harvest completed in April. Early signs of the ongoing wet season suggest active flowering and preliminary expectations for the 2026 crop look positive, provided favorable weather conditions persist. However, prolonged heat waves could challenge crop vigor and impact yield formation.

Commenting on the market outlook for September to December, IPC said that as Vietnam’s net exports fell significantly in the first part of the year, inventory availability could improve in the coming period. With Indonesia and Brazil approaching their peak harvests, the second half of 2025 could see more active participation from all three major suppliers in the export market.
