Coffee and pepper prices in the domestic and international markets are reported, with coffee prices in Vietnam reaching a 6-month high before falling slightly, and robusta and arabica prices on the world market also experiencing slight decreases. Despite this, the market remains tight due to limited supply in Brazil and Colombia, and decreasing exchange reserves. Meanwhile, Uganda's coffee exports have increased by 23% compared to the same month last year, contributing significantly to the country's foreign exchange earnings. The pepper market is also showing positive signs, with export prices of Vietnam's pepper being adjusted upwards, indicating good export activities. However, the market is expected to face challenges in March due to decreased purchasing power from import markets, a strong USD, and pressure on new crop farmers.
