Update pepper information

The distinct export patterns from Brazil, Indonesia and Vietnam in the first half of 2025 demonstrate the complementary role of producing countries in shaping global pepper supply, according to a recent IPC report.

While Brazil and Indonesia responded quickly to favorable market signals through timely shipments, Vietnam contributed stability by regulating exports in line with general market demand developments.

IPC believes that Vietnam's decline in net exports in the first half of 2025, despite a favorable crop, may reflect a strategy of holding inventories to cope with market fluctuations.

The carryover of inventories suggests some degree of supply flexibility in the coming months, which could act as a stabiliser for global markets, particularly if market conditions tighten further or price volatility persists.

Meanwhile, Brazil recorded strong export growth in the first half of 2025, mainly due to effective exploitation of price arbitrage opportunities in the international market. This increase in exports does not reflect excess inventories, but rather a flexible trade strategy that responds quickly to rising international prices – especially during times when supplies from Vietnam are limited or delayed.

Notably, in June 2025, while Vietnam's pepper export prices adjusted sharply downward, Brazil's pepper prices remained stable, showing that available inventories in this country were low and specific demand from  import  markets  remained high.

In addition, trade flows between Brazil and Vietnam for re-exports have been virtually non-existent over the past two months, reinforcing the assumption that domestic inventories in Brazil are currently very limited. The next harvest, which will take place mainly in the northern regions of Brazil, is expected to begin in September 2025. Offers for September-December deliveries have already begun to hit the market.

Indonesia also recorded an impressive increase in export volumes, with a 30% year-on-year increase in the first half of 2025. The majority of these exports occurred in the first quarter, with significant shipments recorded to Vietnam and the United States.

Exports are expected to be dominated by Indonesia’s 2024 harvest, where favorable price conditions have spurred strong sales and early contract execution. Similar to Brazil, Indonesia is currently seen as facing export constraints as domestic demand remains strong and domestic consumption continues to grow.
