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.
