In the second quarter of this year, domestic pepper prices witnessed a record increase from 92,000 - 94,000 VND/kg in early April to 180,000 VND/kg on June 11, corresponding to an increase of 90% in just over two months and is highest level in the past 8 years. After that, pepper prices adjusted back down to 153,000 - 157,000 VND/kg at the end of June.
Thus, by the end of the second quarter, domestic pepper prices had increased by about 93% compared to the beginning of the year and 2.3 times higher than the same period last year.
Pepper prices have skyrocketed in recent times mainly due to concerns about global supply shortages, especially in the two countries that determine the world's supply, Brazil and Vietnam, both of which have reduced output due to the influence of factors such as El Nino weather causes drought. Meanwhile, demand is increasing in some large consumer markets such as the US and EU.
