Under
the influence of #Corona Virus, the pepper market in Vietnam has had
certain effects when prices decreased slightly over the weekend due to
low demand and psychological factors affecting commodity prices.
Furthermore, almost exporters covered enough raw material for Feb/First
week March shipment and now keep sidelined.
After

from India/Nepal and Eastern Europe. The USA market also recorded some
demand for further shipment from June to December. However, business
were slow due to collector/exporters/speculator prefer to offer promptly
shipment and hesitating to offer full year shipment. In contrast to
