The article provides an overview of the daily price fluctuations of black and white pepper, influenced by various factors. It notes that China's increased white pepper purchases, due to Typhoon Yagi's impact on Hainan Island, may lead to a supply shortage in the fourth quarter and during the Lunar New Year.

While weather conditions in Dak Lak are currently favorable for pepper growth, an early rainy season could affect both production and quality.
