On May 28, 2024, the global pepper market saw a significant increase in prices in Indonesia, driven by the falling USD and high shipping costs, while prices remained stable in other countries. Indonesia experienced a surge in the prices of Lampung black pepper and Muntok white pepper. However, prices in Malaysia, Vietnam, Brazil, and Cambodia remained stable. The rise in pepper prices is attributed to supply shortages and increased demand in major markets like Europe, the US, and China. In Vietnam, domestic and export pepper prices continued to increase, reaching up to 119,000 - 120,000 VND/kg.
