Coffee and pepper prices are fluctuating with coffee ranging from 47,100 - 47,800 VND/kg and pepper from 64,000 - 67,000 VND/kg. Global coffee prices are expected to continue increasing due to supply shortages and geopolitical tensions, while Vietnam's coffee output is predicted to decrease by 6%. Pepper prices have stopped falling after many consecutive decreases, and Vietnam has increased its pepper imports by 44.9% in the first 8 months of 2022. The domestic pepper market is excited about the price increase after many years of stability, but exports may face difficulties due to political tensions and China's "Zero Covid" policy.
