Brazil: Pepper price is most competitive as usual due to Real too weak compare with USD.
Difficult to other origin as Vietnam/Indonesia in pepper price when currency still keeping steady.

Market up significantly when crop 2019 has finished. Business very slow as we heard due to price not competitive.

Schiff Foods, a Totowa-based purveyor of whole spices, ground spices and seasonings, announced Wednesday it has acquired Morris J. Golombeck, a Brooklyn-based importer and exporter of high-quality spices and herbs.

Schiff, which was founded in 1949 selling food condiments in Brooklyn, moved to Totowa in 1998 to expand its business to include seeds, herbs, dehydrated vegetables, onion and garlic, seasoning blends, and more. It currently has a 300,000-square-foot warehouse with 30,000 square feet of cold storage dedicated to delicate spices and 15,000 square feet for production.

The combined companies will increase Schiff’s capacity, flexibility and technology, it said.

“The shared values and common goals of Schiff and Golombeck makes this alliance a formidable entity that will anchor our position as a major source for quality spices,” a spokesperson for Schiff Foods said. “The Golombeck team will continue to be an integral part of the Schiff management team, assuring customers that they will continue to enjoy the same personal relationships they have come to expect from an industry leader.”

The main warehouse in Totowa will be expanded and upgraded further to streamline production and distribution, the spokesperson said.

Cassia - Vietnam Market

Below is the average price fluctuation of cigarette cassia on market compiled from main cassia factories in Vietnam from 22-Dec-2016 to present.
The low price peaks on chart are that there were factories with surplus goods offered price lower than market at that time.
This Autumn-2019 cassia crop has come but farmers have exploited little because the output rate from fresh to dry is lower than normal, so it is expected that price of cigarette cassia will remain high until the new crop in March 2020.
