Pepper prices in Vietnam's Central Highlands provinces have fluctuated, with Gia Lai province setting the lowest price at 81,000 VND/kg. Meanwhile, in India, pepper demand has increased as the economy reopens, leading to high prices due to limited supply. This situation may boost imports of pepper from countries like Vietnam, where the price is lower.
