Vietnam
Pepper and Spice Association informed that in the first 6 months of the
year, Vietnam imported 18,002 tons of pepper of all kinds, of which
black pepper reached 16,357 tons, white pepper reached 1,645 tons. Total
import turnover reached 69.6 million USD.
Compared
to the same period last year, imports increased by 18.9%. The 3 main
countries supplying pepper to Vietnam include: Brazil: 7,241 tons, down
22.3%; Cambodia: 6,212 tons, up 34.5%; Indonesia: 2,991 tons, up 67.3%.
In
the context of reduced domestic supply, domestic businesses have had to
increase import of pepper from other countries. In the past, Brazilian
pepper was always considered reasonably priced, and many countries
sought to import it. However, this year with the general increase in the
market, Brazilian pepper prices also increased quite rapidly. In this
country, the pepper harvest is also forecast to be unfavorable.
In
addition, increased transportation costs due to political instability
in the world make it difficult to import pepper from Brazil. Faced with
the above situation, it is understandable that pepper imports from
Southeast Asian countries Indonesia and Cambodia increased sharply.
Commenting
on the market, experts said that last week it lost up to 6,000 VND/kg,
but pepper is having a series of 2 consecutive days of increases during
the weekend.
The
Vietnam Pepper and Spice Association quoted experts as saying that
signs of supply shortage compared to demand will continue to be recorded
in the near future until the end of the season. This continues to be
the driving force for pepper prices to increase this week, expected to
regain the mark of 160,000 VND/kg.
