Pepper prices in Vietnam have been increasing for the past three days, with rates varying across different regions. The global market also sees a rise in pepper prices, with the Vietnam Pepper Association reporting a 133,335 rupees/quintal increase at the Kochi - India floor. Vietnam's pepper exports in April 2021 reached 32.2 thousand tons, valued at US$ 105.22 million, marking a significant increase in value compared to the previous month and year. However, the expansion of pepper cultivation is advised with caution due to potential risks and the unpredictable global pepper market.
