Concerning
new crop for Allspice, we were waiting for a good crop during May-June,
however when the harvest time was arriving, the weather conditions
changed, with a lot of rains and almost 96% of hummidity in August.
The
production areas began to have a very high hummidity with cluody
conditions, and the absense of sun during some periodos created the
perfect conditions for the development of anthracnose.
The
Colletotrichum spp. fungi cause the disease known as anthracnose, which
common symptoms cause dark brown, sunken spots on leaves, stems,
flowers, or fruits, leading to tissue death. This disease can cause
losses of 20%, 50%, or higher.
During
this year, the La Niña phenomenon caused hot conditions to be less
extreme, resulting in shorter and/or less frequent hot days, while
rainfall from cold fronts,
troughs, and divergence increased in amount
and frequency. According to CONAGUA reports (our authority for water and
weather conditions), during the months of April to May there was a
significant increase in precipitation in Mexico. June was reported as
the rainiest month recorded in the country in the last 80 years.
We
are almost finishing the collection, and reviewing the production
areas, we consider that more of the 50% of the crop is lost, but other
people is considering that is more that 70%.
I
am sending you some pictures where you can see when the product looked
fine during June and beginning July, and the product during August, when
many trees began to loose the product because of the anthracnose, that
caused the falling of the fruits, that you can see in the picture, that
shows more fruits on the floor that on the trees.

Update pepper information
According
to the latest report by Harris Spice, after increasing in late August,
pepper prices have largely fluctuated within a narrow range over the
past month.
Moderate demand from China has provided some support to the market. Fluctuations in coffee
prices have also affected the pepper market, as some traders tend to
sell their pepper stocks to switch to coffee trading. At the same time,
farmers and traders still hold on to their stocks, not wanting to sell
at low prices.
A
series of tropical storms brought rain to the northern and central
provinces of Vietnam over the past month. Fruiting is currently underway
in most pepper growing areas. Prolonged rains were recorded in many
areas of the Central Highlands, causing uneven flowering and promoting
more leaf and stem growth.
In
India, rains continue to lash central and southern parts of the
country. Incessant rains have been reported in most pepper growing
regions this year. In many areas, the prolonged monsoon has triggered
various diseases, which may impact the next crop.
Meanwhile
in Indonesia, harvesting is still underway in parts of southern
Sumatra. Heavy rains early in the year have reduced total production for
the season. Demand from domestic traders and speculators has kept
prices steady. Marketed production is expected to increase in the coming
weeks as the harvest peaks in Lampung and South Sumatra.
Harvest
is underway in the northern region of Brazil’s Para state. Despite good
yields, selling pressure remains low as farmers and traders have the
financial wherewithal to hold onto their stocks. Limited demand is also a
key factor affecting the market.

Vietnamese agricultural products can enter the entire bloc with only one license
The
EU Trade Commissioner proposed that if Vietnam grants a license to
agricultural products from one EU country, the license will
automatically be valid in other member countries of the bloc. The EU is
ready to facilitate similar things for Vietnam.
On
September 26 in Hanoi, European Union (EU) Trade Commissioner Maroš
Šefčovič held a press conference on the occasion of his working visit to
Vietnam, focusing on reviewing the results after 5 years of
implementing the Vietnam - EU Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA).
EVFTA is a model in the region
Mr.
Maroš Šefčovič assessed that trade between the EU and Vietnam has grown
strongly after 5 years of implementing the EVFTA. Bilateral trade
turnover reached 64 billion euros in 2024. Vietnam is currently the EU's
largest trading partner in ASEAN.
Vietnam becomes EU's leading partner after 5 years of signing EVFTA
He emphasized that EVFTA is a real success, highly appreciated by many Asian countries and is a model in the region.
According
to the Trade Commissioner, Vietnam is currently taking advantage of the
EVFTA better than the EU, citing an increase of 60% in Vietnam's
exports to the bloc.
In
response to the press, Mr. Šefčovič expressed his support for FTAs to
create added value for trade partners and support their prosperity. The
effective implementation of these agreements will help the relations
between the EU and its partners become closer in terms of economy,
politics and people.
“This is also what we have seen in our relations with Vietnam since the EVFTA took effect five years ago,” he told the press.
The
EU believes that now is the time to promote and elevate the
relationship to the level of Comprehensive Strategic Partnership.
“Both
sides are strongly committed to multilateralism, to the rules-based
order, to reforming the WTO to suit the current situation. I believe
that (upgrading relations) will add an important layer of cooperation,
making the relationship between the EU and Vietnam even closer,” Mr.
Šefčovič shared.
EU proposes to simplify licensing process for agricultural products
In
Vietnam, Mr. Šefčovič met with Deputy Prime Minister Bui Thanh Son and
co-chaired the trade committee meeting under the EVFTA with Minister of
Industry and Trade Nguyen Hong Dien.
The
meeting aimed to review the implementation of the agreement and find
specific steps to make the agreement effective for both sides.
Mr.
Šefčovič stressed the importance of full compliance with UN technical,
safety and environmental standards for cars and components, as well as
the issue of Vietnam granting sanitary and phytosanitary licenses to EU
businesses.
“I
also proposed a measure to simplify the licensing process. If a
specific agricultural product has been licensed by (Vietnam) in one EU
member state, that license will automatically be valid in all other
member states, because we have the same regulations, the same control
mechanisms and the same standards.
For
its part, the European Commission is also ready to create similar
favorable conditions for Vietnamese agricultural products in EU member
countries," he affirmed.
Besides
trade, the two sides discussed strategic investment in key areas such
as critical raw materials, renewable energy, semiconductors, logistics,
telecommunications, etc. He welcomed Vietnam's plan to join the
Multilateral Interim Appeal Arbitration Arrangement (MPIA).
In
all meetings, he said he received support from Vietnam to establish a
specialized working group, including representatives from different
ministries and sectors of the two sides, to review, evaluate and resolve
issues of mutual concern, ensuring optimal use of the free trade
agreement.
Domestic pepper prices
have been trading around VND150,000/kg for over 10 days now, showing a
volatile market trend. Vietnam accounts for over 40% of global pepper
output, but domestic growing areas are shrinking due to crop conversion
and climate change.

Update pepper information
According
to the Customs Department, as of September 15, Vietnam's pepper exports
reached 175,818 tons, worth nearly 1.2 billion USD, down 8.1% in volume
but up 28.7% in value compared to the same period last year. This is
the lowest export volume since 2018, but the highest turnover in the
same period ever.
The
average export price of pepper from the beginning of the year to
September 15 reached 6,789 USD/ton, up 40% over the same period in 2024.
According to the Industry and Trade Newspaper,
this reflects the trend of the international market being willing to
pay high prices for Vietnamese pepper, especially shipments that meet
sustainable standards and are deeply processed. When businesses focus on
upgrading the value chain and exporting high standards, the domestic
market also benefits, creating a new, stable pepper price level.
Vietnam
accounts for more than 40% of global pepper production, but domestic
planting areas are shrinking due to crop conversion and climate change.
Production in Brazil, Indonesia, and India is also down due to extreme
weather, while demand for the spice in emerging markets is still growing
by 3-4% per year. Tight supply is the foundation for keeping world
pepper prices and the latest domestic pepper prices high.
Not
only supply and demand, financial and trade factors are also supporting
the price increase trend. The US imposition of a 40% reciprocal tax on
some imported raw materials forces businesses to purchase heavily domestically, pushing up domestic purchasing prices.
At
the same time, the USD/VND exchange rate moves in a direction that is
favorable for exports, encouraging businesses to close contracts early,
pushing up the latest pepper prices in the final months of the year.
However, trade policies and exchange rate fluctuations are also
variables that can create unexpected adjustments.
The
outlook for the next five years is positive if Vietnam takes advantage
of opportunities from free trade agreements (FTAs) and sustainable
consumption trends. Expanding organic pepper acreage, investing in deep
processing, diversifying products and markets will help businesses
increase export value. Experts recommend that the pepper industry should
focus on quality standards, traceability and developing sustainable
chains to maintain its competitive advantage.
However, challenges remain. Unpredictable climate changes, rising fertilizer and labor
costs , and the risk of pepper diseases require the industry to
proactively prevent them. Maintaining consistent quality and stable
output are the decisive factors for Vietnam’s pepper prices to not only
reach a short-term peak but also be sustainable in the 2025–2030 period.
To
take advantage of opportunities and limit risks, the Vietnamese pepper
industry needs a sustainable development strategy: close links between
farmers - businesses - associations; promote deep processing; expand
high-end markets such as the EU, the US, and Japan. At the same time,
apply farming technology to reduce costs and improve quality. Only by
controlling supply well, ensuring international standards and
proactively marketing, can Vietnam maintain its position as an export
powerhouse, bringing pepper prices to new levels on the world pepper
price map.
The
2025-2030 outlook opens a new growth period for the Vietnamese pepper
industry. Maintaining quality, proactively marketing and flexibly
adapting to international fluctuations will be the key to helping
domestic pepper prices reach new heights today, affirming the position
of Vietnamese agricultural products on the world map.
Pepper price today September 25: Maintaining the momentum, will it "break the ice" in the last month of the year?
Pepper
prices today, September 25, are stable at 148,000-150,000 VND/kg, high
due to scarce supply. Will the last month of the year break this trend?
Báo Đà Nẵng•25/09/2025
In the domestic market
Pepper prices today in some provinces of the Central Highlands and
Southeast did not fluctuate much, ranging from 148,000 - 150,000 VND/kg.
Specifically, Dak Lak and Ba Ria - Vung Tau
have the highest prices, both at 150,000 VND/kg. In particular, pepper
prices in Ba Ria - Vung Tau have not changed compared to yesterday.
Meanwhile, pepper price in Dak Nong is currently at 149,000 VND/kg, unchanged.
In Gia Lai and Binh Phuoc , pepper prices remained at 148,000 VND/kg today. Both provinces increased by 1,000 VND/kg compared to the previous day.
According to the Vietnam Pepper and Spice Association (VPSA), pepper
output in 2025 in Vietnam is likely to decrease due to the impact of
extreme weather such as unseasonal rains and prolonged drought, which
has significantly affected the productivity of many growing areas. This,
combined with high logistics and shipping costs, has contributed to
keeping prices high.
This reflects pressure from tight supply,
while export volumes have fallen slightly but export values remain
high thanks to rising export prices. Factors such as the conversion of
acreage to other crops in some countries have also indirectly supported
domestic prices.
Pepper price prospects in the last months of
2025 and early 2026 are forecast to remain high, with a slight upward
trend prevailing. The main reason is the decline in global supply due to
extreme weather affecting production in Vietnam, India and Indonesia.
Stable demand from major markets, especially during the festive season,
will support prices. However, the market still has the potential risk of
strong fluctuations due to factors such as weather, harvest output and
international trade developments.
In the long term, studies from
the Western Highlands Agriculture and Forestry Science Institute (WASI)
show the potential to improve yields and reduce costs through the model
of growing pepper on living poles (such as Cassia alata, Acacia
leucocephala, Long Mac, and Cotton). This brings high economic
efficiency, prolongs the life of the garden by 20-50%, reduces
investment costs and limits the risk of drought. Sustainable, organic
farming models (such as the example from farmers in Dak Lak with a yield
of 1.5-2 tons/ha/year) can help stabilize supply, thereby reducing
pressure on sudden price increases. If farmers invest more strongly,
similar to coffee (expected output of 1.76 million tons in 2025-2026, up
6% thanks to favorable weather), Vietnamese pepper can contribute to
balancing the global market.
However, experts warn that if supply
surges from new models, it could put downward pressure on prices. The
industry needs a suitable export strategy to protect farmers’ interests
and remain competitive. Overall, the outlook is positive if sustainable
farming is focused, but prices could fluctuate depending on weather and
global demand.
Pepper price today September 25 in the world market
At the end of the most recent trading session, the world pepper market witnessed stability in most commodities.

slightly. According to international reports, pepper output in 2025 in
major producing countries such as India and Indonesia also decreased due
to adverse weather, leading to tighter global supply. Demand from major
import markets such as the EU, the US and China remained stable,
especially when entering the year-end festival season, helping prices
stay high.

According to the price list, all provinces have not recorded any
changes compared to yesterday. This stability is considered good news
for farmers.
Pepper price today September 21, 2025 in the domestic market
Compared to the previous day, pepper prices in all provinces remained
unchanged, reflecting the current state of the domestic market, with
abundant supply from the harvest and stable export demand. This
stability is considered a positive signal for farmers, helping them
avoid the risk of sudden price fluctuations. However, domestic pepper
prices are still affected by export prices and global supply, leading to
a situation that shows no signs of a sharp increase in the short term.
According to experts and the Vietnam Pepper Association (VPSA), the
pepper market is currently in a tug-of-war, with prices unlikely to
increase sharply in the short term due to the lack of a real
breakthrough in international demand. However, from late 2025 to early
2026, pepper prices are expected to increase thanks to a 10-15% decrease
in global supply, low inventories, while demand is stable in major
markets such as the US, Europe, China and India. As the world's number one exporter (accounting for over 55% of the global market share), Vietnam is expected to benefit greatly.
If the strategy of market diversification, improving processing quality
and sustainable production is maintained, Vietnam's pepper price can
reach 240,000 - 250,000 VND/kg. To achieve this, the industry needs to
reduce dependence on traditional markets and focus more on quality,
helping to strengthen its competitive position in the face of
fluctuations in global supply and demand.

with 1,865 tons, although down 15.4%, while China increased sharply by
47% to 1,416 tons and the UAE increased by 31.6% to 1,034 tons.
This reflects market diversification, with Asia and the Middle East
becoming increasingly important. In contrast, imports fell sharply to
998 tonnes (US$6.2 million), mainly from Cambodia, Brazil and Indonesia,
as Vietnamese businesses prioritized domestic sources.

Promoting Vietnamese spice industry to US businesses
Ambassador
Nguyen Quoc Dung emphasized that Vietnam is proud to be the third
country in the world in supplying and processing spices, with an annual
turnover of more than 1 billion USD.
Vietnamese Ambassador to the United States Nguyen Quoc Dung delivered opening remarks at the event.
On
September 10, the Embassy of Vietnam in the United States and the
American Spice Trade Association (ASTA) co-organized the event "Opening
New Horizons in Trade" at the Vietnam House, Washington DC.
The
event aims to promote and introduce the Vietnamese spice industry to
local businesses, and at the same time connect businesses of the two
countries.
The
event was attended by more than 100 member enterprises of ASTA, Cocoa
Coffee Association and enterprises in the import-export sector of
Vietnam, representatives of the US Chamber of Commerce, US-ASEAN
Business Council, US Grains Council and trade and agricultural
counselors of ASEAN embassies in the United States.
Speaking
at the opening of the event, Ambassador Nguyen Quoc Dung emphasized
that Vietnam is proud to be the third largest country in the world in
supplying and processing spices, with an annual turnover of more than 1
billion USD (2024 data).
The
spice industry is promoting green production, developing raw material
areas that meet the standards of major markets, demonstrating a
commitment to food safety and sustainable development.
2025 is also particularly meaningful as it marks the 30th anniversary of Vietnam-US diplomatic relations , in which trade, including spices, is an important driving force.
The
United States is currently one of the largest markets for Vietnamese
spices, with pepper being the main product and increasing demand,
opening up many cooperation opportunities for businesses of the two
countries.
Guests enjoy Vietnamese pho at the event.
At
the event, ASTA President Kerri Goad-Berrios thanked the Vietnamese
Embassy for opening the Vietnam House for member businesses to exchange
and connect with Vietnamese businesses and partners.
Ms.
Goad-Berrios expressed her appreciation for the significance of the
event, especially in the current context of unpredictable trade
developments, where businesses need to expand and seek new cooperation
and trade opportunities.
To
help local businesses better understand the Vietnamese spice industry,
the Vietnam Trade Office in the United States gave a presentation
introducing an overview of the industry, prospects and cooperation
opportunities.
At
the same time, the Trade Office informed and invited US businesses to
the Vietnam Spice and Pepper Outlook 2026 (VIPO) Conference organized by
the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment in Da Nang from March 3-5,
2026.

Attendees
were impressed with traditional dishes using typical Vietnamese spices
(beef pho, fried spring rolls, spring rolls...) and special music and
dance performances at the event.
On
this occasion, guests at the event received gifts from Tran Chau Group
Corporation, a member of the Vietnam Pepper and Spice Association
(VPSA), which are Vietnamese organic pepper and spices.
