On the world world market

Type name	World black pepper price list (Unit: USD/ton)
	June 3	June 4	% change
Lampung black pepper (Indonesia)	5,633	5,634	+0.02
Brazilian black pepper ASTA 570	5,900	5,900	0
Kuching black pepper (Malaysia) ASTA	4,900	4,900	0

Type name	World white pepper price list (Unit: USD/ton)
	June 3	June 4	% change
Muntok white pepper	7,422	7,424	+0.03
ASTA Malaysian white pepper	7,300	7,300	0

The driving force for price increases comes from global supply shortages, while demand is recovering positively; Along with that, sea freight rates increased sharply again, causing pepper export costs to increase.

Under “new normal” conditions, voyages will be longer but with fewer port calls. Routing around the Cape of Good Hope is a temporary solution to avoid risks in the Red Sea but also leads to consequences in terms of cost, time and especially increased transport emissions due to the long route. This causes a shortage of empty containers and makes a shipping crisis imminent.

The current increase in pepper prices is much higher than the most optimistic forecasts made at the beginning of the second quarter of 2024 with the prediction that pepper prices will only reach 110,000 VND/kg by the end of this quarter.

According to industry experts, the pepper market has entered a new price increasing cycle with a period lasting from 8 to 10 years, according to information from The Gioi and Vietnam newspapers.

Vietnam Pepper market update 3rd June 2024 – Week 22

 

•        The price of pepper continued to increase by 18.5% last week. Therefore, the price of pepper has almost only increased since the beginning of April until now and there are no signs of stopping.

 

•        Besides the supply and demand factors, we can clearly see that many agents and exporters are facing a shortage of raw materials for their signed orders. This leads to a need to intensify the collection of raw materials to ensure the progress of orders to be delivered in the 2nd/3rd/4th quarter 2024. This is the main reason for the continuous and strong price increases in the market recently.

 

•        In addition, the rapid price increase has encouraged speculation activities from agents, exporters, and local farmers in the domestic market as the predicted decrease in raw materials supply is expected to be significant. Vietnam has exported 113,000 tons in the first five months of the year while the supply is narrowing. The amount needed for export has decreased significantly while the harvest season for 2025 is still 8 months away. This is a significant challenge for the pepper market as the supply is forecasted to be lower than the global demand.

 

 

 

BRAZIL - Pepper market comment

According to the Brazilian State Center for Foreign Trade Statistics (Comex Stat), in April, Brazil exported 7,596 tons of pepper, down 11.3% over the same period last year.

With this result, Brazil's pepper exports in the first 4 months of the year reached 25,939 tons, worth 93.4 million USD, compared to the same period in 2023, down 10.3% in volume but up 12.1% in value. Brazil's average export pepper price in the first 4 months of the year reached 3,601 USD/ton, up 25% over the same period last year.

Vietnam is the main export market of Brazilian pepper, accounting for 17.9% of the total volume, reaching 4,643 tons, however compared to the same period, it decreased by 13.7%. The price of Brazilian pepper has increased higher than the selling price of Vietnam in the world market, which makes importing raw pepper from Brazil no longer attractive to Vietnamese processors.
