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.

At the end of the most recent trading session, the International Pepper Community (IPC) listed Lampung (Indonesia) black pepper price at 6,418 USD/ton; Brazilian black pepper price ASTA 570 is at 7,600 USD/ton, down 300 USD (3.95%); Kuching (Malaysia) ASTA black pepper price remained at 4,900 USD/ton.

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.

According to KTĐT.vn

Pepper market update 17th June 2024 – Week 24

 

 

•        Last week, the pepper price experienced dizzying fluctuations. Prices surged and dropped significantly within hours. There were days when the market increased by up to 8%, but then decreased by 7-9% in just one day.

 

•        It can be said that the market last week was chaotic, with many moments when there were no reference prices.

 

•        At the end of the week, prices had unchanged and kept the same level 174.000vnd.

 

It is important to note that in June, Vietnam is expected to export 26-30,000 tons of pepper, bringing the total exported quantity in the first 6 months to reach between 140,424 tons and 144,424 tons. 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.
