In April, Vietnam saw a significant increase in its pepper exports, totaling 26,245 tons valued at US$116.5 million, despite a year-on-year decrease of 19.4% in volume for the first four months. The overall export value, however, grew by 10.3% during this period. Asia remains the largest market for Vietnamese pepper, although exports to the region, particularly China, have declined. Conversely, the United States has become the largest export market, experiencing a notable increase. Vietnam also imports pepper, mainly from Brazil, Cambodia, and Indonesia, to fulfill its processing and re-export needs, with imports rising in the first four months of the year.
