In June 2024, Vietnam's pepper exports totaled 28,162 tons, generating $141.1 million despite a 10.2% decrease in volume from the previous month. The average export prices for black and white pepper rose by 11.5% and 13.4%, respectively. The US was the largest importer, and Phuc Sinh Joint Stock Company led in exports. Domestic prices remain high due to supply shortages from crop failures in Brazil and Indonesia, causing low inventory levels and potential price volatility. Additionally, pepper prices have doubled compared to the previous year, surprising global buyers and businesses.
