Coffee and pepper prices are on a downward trend both locally and internationally due to COVID-19's impact on the quality of produce and supply chains. Coffee prices in Vietnam have dropped by 400-500 VND / kg, with Ho Chi Minh City experiencing the highest purchase price at 33,800 VND / kg. In Kenya, the struggle with low quality supplies has led to a decrease in coffee auction prices. Meanwhile, pepper prices in Vietnam are stable but fluctuating, with Ba Ria - Vung Tau offering the highest purchase price at 50,000 VND / kg. In India, farmers and traders are cautious of potential illegal entry of Indonesian pepper disguised as Sri Lankan produce. Conversely, international natural rubber prices have surged by 25% in the past three months, which tire manufacturers expect will be balanced by crude oil prices.
