Update pepper information

In Dak Lak, organic pepper production is being applied by people in Cu Kuin district. The use of biological products and microbial fertilizers in the cultivation process not only helps farmers save costs but also maintains productivity, contributing to environmental protection, according to Dak Lak Newspaper.

After the ups and downs due to erratic price fluctuations, Mr. Vu Dinh Khoi's family (village 6, Ea Bhok commune) still perseveres thanks to sustainable organic pepper farming.

Mr. Khoi shared that when pepper prices continuously reached “peaks”, his family and many other households massively expanded the area for new planting, abusing chemical fertilizers, pesticides, stimulants, etc. to increase productivity. However, this abuse created a favorable environment for diseases and harmful fungi to attack crops, especially quick and slow death diseases, causing heavy economic losses.

To overcome this situation, Mr. Khoi researched, learned and decided to switch to organic farming. With the process of "washing" the garden at the beginning of the season, preventing plant diseases, and using probiotics throughout the production process, his family's 1.2-hectare pepper garden not only achieved higher productivity but also limited pests and diseases. In addition to using probiotics, his family also focused on fertilizing with composted manure and cow manure, helping to reduce pests and create conditions for pepper plants to grow more sustainably.

Similarly, biofertilizers are gradually becoming the top choice, replacing pesticides in the pepper garden of Mr. Vu Kim Thinh’s family (Kim Chau village, Dray Bhăng commune). In particular, this farming method not only protects the health of farmers but also ensures that the products reaching consumers are always safe.

Taking care of pepper with microbial fertilizers and biological products helps Mr. Nguyen Van Luong's family garden (village 23, Ea Ning commune) always have stable productivity.

Mr. Ngo Minh Dung, Chairman of the Ea Ning Commune Farmers' Association, said that since the implementation of the landscape pepper model program, people in the commune have noticed a clear difference in the cultivation process. Households participating in the model not only increased pepper productivity and quality, but also reduced pests and diseases and protected the environment. Thanks to that, people have reduced production costs, especially limiting the abuse of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. The obvious benefits from the model have encouraged many households to participate. To date, the whole commune has had 328 households participating in the landscape pepper model, with a total area of ​​nearly 361 hectares.

Update pepper information

According to  Thehindubusinessline , India's pepper output in 2024-25 is expected to decline due to shrinking cultivation area and adverse weather affecting production.

According to the first preliminary estimate of the Government of this country, pepper output may decrease by 38%, reaching only 78,000 tons compared to 126,000 tons last year. At the same time, the pepper growing area is estimated to decrease to 255,000 hectares compared to 313,000 hectares last year.

Kishore Shamji, director of the Indian Pepper and Spices Trade Association, estimated pepper production this year at around 75,000 tonnes due to the impact of climate change on agricultural production. He also said that the Ministry of Agriculture and the Spices Board had reported a residual stock of 50,000 tonnes from last year, taking the total available in the domestic market to 125,000 tonnes.

Pepper prices in the domestic market in India have crossed the Rs 700/kg mark in major producing states like Karnataka and Kerala.

At Kochi market, pepper prices have increased marginally in recent days, hovering at Rs 685/kg for ungraded pepper and Rs 705/kg for graded pepper.

Mr. Shamji said that the increase in pepper prices was partly due to the Indian Ministry of Finance approving a value-added tax (GST) exemption for pepper producers and farmers if their products are transported between states to consumer markets in northern India.

The policy was introduced after a Karnataka MP submitted a petition to Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on behalf of the pepper growers' community.

As a result, pepper prices in Karnataka have shot up to Rs 725 per kg, leading to an increase in pepper prices in Kerala. Farmers in Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh are also looking to benefit from the GST exemption.

Mr. Shamji predicts that pepper prices may continue to increase if demand remains strong after the Holi festival.

Domestic pepper prices updated on the morning of March 14, 2025

Analysts say that unlike previous years, pepper hoarding is more common this year, making raw materials scarce even during the peak harvest season.

According to the Vietnam Pepper and Spice Association (VPSA), pepper prices are increasing compared to previous years, bringing benefits to growers. It is forecasted that the demand for pepper in the world will remain high, helping pepper prices maintain their upward momentum in the coming time.

According to a recent report by Ptexim, although demand from markets remains sluggish, farmers and dealers are still holding onto their stocks instead of selling. The hoarding of pepper in anticipation of higher prices has led to a situation where pepper prices at the farm gate are sometimes higher than raw material prices at exporting producers. The current situation will make business more difficult if farmers continue to limit the sale of raw materials to the market.

Farmers in Dak Nong province harvest pepper

In Vietnam, although pepper prices have increased, they are still not attractive enough for farmers to expand their planting areas. The main reason is that other crops such as durian bring higher profits, making people less interested in expanding pepper cultivation.

Vietnam's pepper output is on a downward trend, from 192,000 tons in 2023 to 183,000 tons in 2024 and is expected to continue to decrease to 178,000 tons in 2025. In the context of domestic and global inventories nearing rock bottom, experts predict that pepper prices will continue to remain high. The US and China are still the two main consumption markets that Vietnam is focusing on exploiting.

Lush green pepper gardens are grown in Dak Nong province.

World pepper prices today are stable, slightly increasing.

Update on world pepper prices from the International Pepper Community (IPC) at 4:30 a.m. on March 14, 2025 as follows: the market remains stable and sideways, however, only pepper prices in Indonesia increased slightly.

Specifically, IPC listed the price of Indonesian Lampung black pepper at 7,254 USD/ton; Muntok white pepper is currently purchased at 10,252 USD/ton (up 15 USD/ton).

The Malaysian pepper market remained stable compared to the most recent trading session. Currently, the price of Malaysian ASTA black pepper is purchased at 9,800 USD/ton and the price of ASTA white pepper is at 12,300 USD/ton.

Pepper prices in Brazil have fluctuated little and are currently anchored at a fairly high level, with the current purchase price reaching 6,900 USD/ton.

Update pepper information

According to  tribeneindia , India's black pepper industry is facing a turbulent 2025, as declining production and constrained supplies push prices to new highs, creating a challenging environment for both farmers and traders.

Vietnam, Brazil, Indonesia and India account for more than 80% of global black pepper production and 95% of trade. In 2024, India contributed 11% to the total global black pepper production, of which Karnataka accounted for 60%, Kerala 30%, and the remaining 10% came from Tamil Nadu and other regions.

The global pepper market has been volatile throughout 2024, with prices rising from Rs 328 per kg in January to a peak of Rs 614 per kg in June before stabilizing at Rs 512 per kg in December. According to industry experts, pepper prices could cross Rs 1,000 per kg this year.

Black pepper production in India has witnessed a significant decline due to erratic weather conditions. Unseasonal rainfall in 2024, coupled with the impacts of climate change, has adversely affected crop yields, leading to a sharp decline in total production. India is expected to produce 46,000 tonnes of pepper in 2025, down significantly from 55,000 tonnes in 2024.

Not only India, supply shortages are also occurring in other major pepper producing countries, including Vietnam and Sri Lanka, aggravating the global supply shortage.

Vietnam's pepper output decreased from 192,000 tons in 2023 to 183,000 tons in 2024 and is expected to continue to decrease to 178,000 tons in 2025. Meanwhile, Brazil's pepper output decreased from 102,000 tons in 2023 to 70,000 tons in 2024 but is expected to increase to 85,000 tons in 2025.

Additionally, Sri Lanka saw pepper production drop sharply from 20,000 tonnes in 2024 to just 14,000 tonnes in 2025.

The global supply shortage is expected to keep pepper prices high in key markets around the world, while increasing competition for high-quality Indian black pepper.

While the high price environment may benefit trade, maintaining production amid climate change and market inefficiencies remains a pressing issue for the long-term sustainability of the Indian black pepper industry.
