Moisture content drags down pepper prices in Kochi

---

June 29, 2020
Pepper prices were down by ₹2 per kg in Kochi on Monday following the availability of higher moisture content pepper due to the present climatic conditions. The prices were at ₹310/kg on an off-take of 30 tonnes.
Kishore Shamji of Kishor Spices said that there are more sellers from Wayanad and Coorg for lower bulk density pepper, which, in turn, is influencing Idukki dealers as well to reduce the price. The domestic demand continues to be steady except from cities of Chennai, Mumbai, Delhi, Ahmedabad where the demand has slowed down.
According to him, the pressure from Sri Lankan exporters for dumping their produce in India overcoming the MIP restrictions fixed by the Government is still continuing. The absence of required action from authorities have forced more importers to go ahead with such shipments, violating the rules.
IPSTA Kochi black pepper rates (₹/kg): MG1-330; ungarbled-310; 500 G/L-300.

CASSIA PRICES EVOLUTION 2016-2020

INDONESIA CLOVES MKT INFORMATION

June25/2020

COVID cases are increasing by the day and there is no sign of plateau yet.
Currently there are about 48000 official cases with around 2500 deaths. Mind you, these are “official” statistics.
Meanwhile, due to the Dollar weakening and Fiscal Stimulus, IDR is getting stronger.
It went up all the way to 13900 and currently hovering around 14200 levels against the Dollar. Basically, a correction of about 7% in the short term and 14% in the Medium Term!

Island wise lockdown is still in force, although the new normal is underway in cities like Jakarta.
As a result of this, container, cargo as well as labor availability remains as a challenge.

Cloves:
Arrivals haven’t started yet.
Contrary to the belief of many that Indonesia will have another big crop like last year, it seems that it is not as big as was initially expected.
Making matters worse, there is an acute crisis of Labor.
Thumb rule is, at any growing area of Clove, there are more tree than people to pick the cloves. As a result of this, Clove owners tend to outsource people from adjoining islands during the picking season.
Now that most of the islands are following their self-imposed exile or 14 days of Quarantine, there is a strong possibility that net availability of cloves will remain low even at the peak season.
We also heard that one of the big boys has either started to purchase or will start soon. But the
exact time and quantity is difficult to predict.

CASSIA MKT UPDATE JUNE 20, 2020

20-Jun-20

The March cassia crop (the main crop) ended more than a month ago.
Due to Covid pandemic, transactions in March-April was bleak, but since May the orders have increased and factories have been active in collecting goods to perform the signed contracts.

Cassia is no longer in farmers now, local traders also sold nearly all their stock to factories.
Currently, the amount of cassia, especially cigarette cassia have started to be scarce, the price of split cassia, broken cassia have increased by USD 200-300/ton compared to the price of early June.

The prices of cigarette cassia in factories are very different.
Some factories offer a little higher than the price in early June, possibly because they have collected more goods. But there are factories offering cigarette cassia very high, more than USD 300-400/ton compared to the average price in early June.

The market of Vietnamese cigarette cassia during last 2 years is quite good, high demand due to Indonesia price which are much higher than Vietnamese prices, so buyers turn to Vietnam.

It is expected that in coming time, price of cassia will continue to be stressful, especially for cigarette cassia, when the demand in countries recover after the pandemic while inventories are not much, the new cassia crop (subsidiary crop) will be available in Nov-Dec.

As in 2017/18/19, the price of cigarette cassia usually increases sharply from July to year-end.
