On October 26, 2023, pepper prices in the world market slightly decreased in Indonesia but remained stable in other markets. In Vietnam, export prices for black pepper decreased slightly, while white pepper remained unchanged. Domestically, the pepper market saw slight decreases in some regions in Vietnam. The domestic market is at risk of further price declines due to a shift in capital flows towards new crop coffee, decreased import demand, and concerns about general demand for pepper due to conflicts. Vietnam's pepper exports have increased in volume but decreased in value compared to the same period last year, with China becoming the largest export market. Reports predict a 15% decrease in Vietnam's pepper output in 2024.
