The international pepper market in March 2025 remained stable with high prices due to a expected decrease in global pepper output to around 434,000 tons, while demand remains high. Adversely weather conditions in major producing countries like Vietnam, Indonesia and Brazil are contributing to the supply pressure. The domestic market in Vietnam also saw stable prices around 159,000 - 160,000 VND/kg, with a slight decrease in Dak Nong province. The market is experiencing local shortages as farmers are withholding their stocks in anticipation of higher prices. Despite the limited supply, there is no significant selling pressure, and pepper prices are expected to stay high in the future.
