Domestic pepper prices   today  mainly went sideways, only Ba Ria Vung Tau increased slightly by 1,000 VND.

After the first 16 days of June 2024, Vietnam exported 16,211 tons of pepper. Of which, black pepper reached 14,347 tons, and white pepper reached 1,864 tons. Total export turnover reached 77.8 million USD.

It is expected that Vietnam will export 30,000 tons of pepper in June, bringing the total export volume in the first 6 months of 2024 to 140 - 144 thousand tons, the lowest output level in the past 5 years.

There are currently no official statistics on pepper output in the past season from management agencies, associations, and businesses. But with an average estimate of 170 thousand tons, there is not much pepper left for export until the end of the year.

Businesses increased imports but did not increase significantly, in the context of scarce global supply due to low output in many countries.

According to experts, the pepper growing area is increasingly shrinking as farmers change crops. The supply of pepper on the global market is nearly 100,000 tons short of demand. Because businesses lack goods for export, they increase purchases in a short period of time, causing prices to increase dramatically.

The current "hot" increase in pepper is partly due to Chinese traders starting to buy pepper again after a long absence.

Thus, the domestic pepper price on June 21, 2024 is trading around 155,000 - 160,000 VND/kg.

Pepper market on June 19, 2024: Decreasing in the provinces

Posted onJune 19, 2024by VPA

June 19

Pepper price today June 19 is in the range of 157,000 - 159,000 VND/kg, down compared to yesterday (June 18). The International Pepper Community kept pepper prices in other countries unchanged but reduced in Brazil.

As noted by Ba Ria - Vung Tau newspaper, this year's pepper crop, Mr. Hoang Van Quan (Phu Tai hamlet, Hoa Hiep commune, Xuyen Moc district) harvested 10 tons of pepper, down 3 tons compared to last year, but still profitable. quite because pepper prices have increased. About a month ago, the selling price was 100,000 VND/kg. After deducting costs, he earned a profit of 400-500 million VND, a profit he only got after more than 5 years.

As for Ms. Nguyen Thi Thuy Trang (in Hoa Hiep commune, Xuyen Moc district) does not expand the area but focuses on taking care of the existing pepper garden of 4.3 hectares. According to Ms. Trang, pepper prices are at their highest level in the past 7 years, helping growers have a good source of income.

According to the agricultural sector, the whole province has more than 10,500 hectares of pepper, most of which is in the business stage, concentrated mainly in Chau Duc and Xuyen Moc districts.

The rush to plant pepper when prices increase is no longer the case. Instead, farmers focus on taking care of and improving their gardens better. Some households plant new trees on dead and old tree areas and cultivate organically for sustainable development.

Meanwhile, according to experts, the current price of pepper is still not attractive for people to grow again. Because durian and coffee are at very good prices; The lands where durian and coffee are grown are also the same areas where pepper was grown in the past.

Pepper market June 17, 2024: Pepper prices increased again

Posted onJune 17, 2024by VPA

June 17

Pepper price today June 17 is in the range of 160,000 - 161,000 VND/kg, an increase of 3,000 VND compared to last weekend. Currently, the inventory level of traders is assessed at a low level. In particular, some dealers have faced shortages and were unable to buy back when the market increased rapidly.

In the latest report, PTEXIM Corp assessed that the current inventory level of intermediaries, an important link connecting farmers with exporters, is assessed at a low level. In particular, some dealers have faced shortages when they sold out and were unable to buy back when the market increased rapidly. The company said that the above reason causes prices to escalate further.

The average inventory in the hands of intermediaries is very small, the lowest in recent years, due to the increasingly expensive capital cost of black pepper. Purchasing and storing inventory becomes difficult and requires large capital, leading to low inventory levels.

PTEXIM Corp further informed that with Brazil forecast to have a crop failure and slow harvest due to prolonged harsh weather, the price of black pepper at SPOT spot warehouse continuously increased sharply. This leaves many manufacturers unprepared for the year's production needs.

Many importers/processors expect that the supply of raw materials will be supplemented from Brazil and Indonesia, leading to a shortage of raw materials for production because Brazil/Indonesia hardly offers them for sale, causing prices to continuously skyrocket in recent times. via.

Brazilian pepper prices increased sharply, according to reports from Brazilian exporters, the main reason being mass crop failures in Espirito Santom state, the country's main pepper production area.

Currently, experts say that the shipping market is in a more difficult crisis than during Covid-19. In fact, due to the lack of ships, freight prices suddenly increased again, 2 - 2.5 times higher than 2 months ago. The reason for the impact on freight rates is the impact of the ongoing Red Sea crisis in the Panama Canal, and signs of escalation in the US-China trade war.

In addition to supply and demand factors, the above factors are causing commodity prices to increase, setting new floors, including pepper.

Commenting on pepper prices this week, experts say that they are still increasing steadily in all countries, but the domestic market continues to adjust, depending heavily on speculation.

This is an impressive export figure as Vietnam’s crop is forecasted to be the lowest in production in the past 5 years.

 

Furthermore, Vietnam is currently the largest pepper-producing country, almost the only affordable supplier with a large quantity in the global pepper market. Other countries like Brazil and Indonesia are forecasted to have poor crops, with the upcoming crop season starting around August. Therefore, considering stockpiling to ensure production orders is a necessary consideration, despite the increasing capital costs and rising transportation fees in recent times.

Freight - reason why shipping rates are increasing

 

'Caught sick' the reason why shipping rates are increasing day by day

Posted onJune 14, 2024by VPA

June 14

Container shipping costs have increased almost vertically, causing export businesses to worry about delivery schedules as well as shrinking profit margins.

Freight costs increased dramatically

Mr. Vincent Clerc - CEO of shipping giant Maersk (Denmark) - said that container shipping costs increased 'almost vertically' in the past month. Specifically, in the week ending June 6, Drewry's container freight index increased 12% to 4,716 USD per FEU (40ft container), an increase of 181% over the same period and 232% higher than the previous year. average level in 2019.

For example, freight rates on the Shanghai to Genoa route reached $6,664 per FEU, up 213% from a year ago. Additionally, freight rates on the Shanghai to New York route recently reached $6,463 per FEU, up about 142% over the same period, while rates on the Shanghai to Los Angeles route recently reached $5,975 per FEU, up about 215% over the same period last year.

According to Vietnam Maritime Administration, statistics from the beginning of June 2024, the price of shipping container goods by sea to European countries and the United States is trending up sharply, the world container index increased by 12% to 4,716. USD/40 feet container in the past week.

According to data from the international logistics exchange Phaata, freight rates for the City route. Ho Chi Minh trips to the United States are increasing sharply. Meanwhile, Drewry's world container index (WCI) increased 12% to $4,716 per 40-foot container in the week from May 30 to June 6 and increased 181% over the same period last year. From Shanghai to Genoa, rates increased 17% at $6,664 per 40-foot container. Freight rates from Shanghai to New York increased 6% to $7,214 per 40-foot container.

Mr. Truong Dinh Hoe - General Secretary of the Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP) - informed that the world's vital shipping routes from the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden are heavily affected by conflict. Geopolitics are escalating in the Middle East. For some time now, the Mandab Strait - one of the busiest maritime routes in the world with the capacity to handle about 15% of global maritime trade value - has been significantly disrupted due to attacks by Houthi rebels. on cargo ships in recent times. The majority of cargo ships still avoid moving into the Red Sea area, with the number of daily movements down by two-thirds compared to the same period last year.

Drought conditions in the Panama Canal – which handles 5% of global maritime trade – have gradually improved as the number of daily transits has increased. However, shipping capacity through the Panama Canal is still lower than the usual daily average of 34 - 40 transits and cargo traffic is expected to return by 2025. Recently, a situation occurred again. Congestion in Singapore leads to concerns about supply chain crises and rising commodity prices.

"Congestion in Singapore stems from many factors, from the tendency to change shipping routes when the Red Sea is unstable to the rush to transport goods before the new tariffs imposed by the United States on Chinese goods take effect." , Mr. Truong Dinh Hoe shared.

Many leading industry experts say that the United States plans to impose strong tariffs on many types of Chinese goods from August 2024, causing Chinese exporters to boost exports ahead of schedule. Therefore, many Chinese exporters are paying higher prices to shipping lines to ensure space on ships bound for the United States and Europe.

Chinese businesses are willing to pay up to 1,000 USD for 1 slot on the ship, while Vietnam only pays 600 USD. Therefore, shipping lines have almost given priority to China, reducing trips with countries including Vietnam, leading to the current situation of huge price increases.

Mr. Do Ngoc Tai - General Director of Tai Kim Anh Seafood Processing Joint Stock Company - informed that shipping rates have increased dramatically by 40% since May due to the war in the Middle East and China collecting empty containers to reserve for export. for the United States before the new tax deadline. Similarly, with the EU market, shipping rates increased dramatically by 60% due to detours and China collecting empty containers for export to the United States.

In the pepper and spice industry, Ms. Hoang Thi Lien - President of the Vietnam Pepper and Spice Association - informed that pepper export businesses are facing difficulties when pepper prices increase. Unable to buy goods, along with that, transportation costs increase. The reason may be because the Chinese side collects empty containers for export.

Narrowing business profit margins

Some export businesses reported that the cost of a container to the US market has increased from nearly 3,000 USD to nearly 7,400 USD; Peak season fees every year are the highest at about 300 USD/container, now the shipping company reported an increase to 1,000 USD/container... Shipping rates fluctuate every day. Shipping companies also quote prices weekly instead of 15 - 30 days as before.

Meanwhile, Vietnamese businesses have almost no choice because in terms of international shipping, Vietnam's shipping fleet is currently only responsible for transporting about 10% of the market share, mainly transporting the following routes: China, Japan, Korea and Southeast Asia. Vietnam's export activities to major markets such as the United States, EU... depend on foreign shipping lines.

Notably, according to Mr. Vincent Clerc, with the above sharp increase in prices, it may motivate more retailers in the West to find ways to transport goods for the Christmas shopping season in large volumes. earlier and earlier than usual. This could put additional pressure on the global supply chain. The sooner retailers replenish inventory, the more they will fall into a dilemma. The more they try to request early shipments to avoid late delivery, the more delays they see.

Mr. Nguyen Hoai Nam - Deputy General Secretary of VASEP - said that shipping costs are increasing again, causing difficulties for the fisheries industry. Because businesses in the industry mainly operate export activities, each year they use more than 1 million containers, but currently, it is very difficult to order containers.

Meanwhile, Mr. Ho Quoc Luc - Chairman of the Board of Directors of Sao Ta Food Joint Stock Company - said that sea freight rates to North America and Western Europe increased by 100% compared to the off-peak period, while other routes Going to Japan, Korea, Australia has more stable prices. Increasing fares will reduce business profits.

Faced with the above situation, the Vietnam Maritime Administration has just requested the Maritime Port Authorities to coordinate with the Maritime Sub-Departments and relevant authorities, associations and units to strengthen supervision of business enterprises. sea ​​transport, providing container freight services by sea, listing prices and surcharges in addition to the price of container freight services by sea (prices and surcharges in addition to prices); Complying with the effectiveness of price postings and surcharges in addition to prices according to the provisions of Decree No. 146 of the Government.

Units are assigned to monitor and report to the Department when there is congestion at seaports, as well as when there is an imbalance in container containers serving import and export goods.

Vietnam Maritime Branch in City. Ho Chi Minh was assigned to preside over and coordinate with the Maritime Branch in Hai Phong and the Maritime Port Authorities in the city. Ho Chi Minh, Vung Tau, Hai Phong monitor statistics on price increases/decreases and surcharges in addition to prices for a number of shipping lines that provide container shipping services to Europe and the United States, including including: Maersk, MSC, CMA-CGM, ONE, Hapag-Lloyd, Evergreen, HMM, COSCO, Yang Ming, OOCL...

At the same time, proactively work with representatives of the above shipping lines in Vietnam and relevant units to grasp the causes of service price increases/decreases when there are signs of sharp increases/decreases and other related issues. to the shipping company.

Pepper market June 12, 2024: export and domestic pepper prices dropped sharply

Posted onJune 12, 2024by VPA

Pepper price today June 12 is in the range of 155,000 - 160,000 VND/kg. After a series of consecutive increases, the official domestic pepper price dropped sharply by 20,000-25,000 VND/kg. The International Pepper Community sharply increased Vietnam's pepper export prices while slightly decreasing Indonesian pepper prices.

At the end of the most recent trading session, the International Pepper Community (IPC) listed Lampung (Indonesia) black pepper price at 6,449 USD/ton, down 0.03%; Brazilian black pepper price ASTA 570 is at 8,500 USD/ton; Kuching (Malaysia) ASTA black pepper price remained at 4,900 USD/ton.

Muntok white pepper price was 8,417 USD/ton, down 0.04%; Malaysian ASTA white pepper price is still at 7,300 USD/ton.

Vietnam black pepper price is trading at 7,300 USD/ton for 500 g/l type; type 550 g/l at 7,800 USD/ton, up 16.25%; White pepper price was at 10,700 USD/ton, an increase of 20.83%. The International Pepper Community sharply increased Vietnam's pepper export prices while slightly decreasing Indonesian pepper prices.

Pepper prices in the world and in Vietnam increased sharply because Brazil and Vietnam, the two countries that determine global supply, are having a decline in output due to El Nino weather causing drought. Supply in Indonesia, India, Malaysia, and Sri Lanka is also limited.

According to assessments, in the long term in the next 3-5 years, the amount of pepper produced cannot meet the world's consumer demand.

Factors other than supply and demand pushing pepper to skyrocket include shipping costs. The global container index, representing spot container freight rates on major international shipping routes, has returned to the peak of the Covid-19 epidemic.

Shipping market research firm Linerlytica said that ports in Southeast Asia are becoming the "most serious bottleneck" for world maritime transport activities, when 26% of global container capacity is stuck in this area.

This has been implanted in product prices, causing goods to increase in recent times. Besides, domestic speculation activities are also considered one of the main causes of the current price increase. The market is also driven by increasing purchasing power each month from China.
