PEPPER PRICES HAVE DROPPED TO 135,000 VND/KG. VINH AGRIMEX PROVIDES THE LATEST MARKET UPDATES, TRENDS, AND EXPORT INFORMATION ON PEPPER.

Pepper prices today (March 23, 2026) have fallen sharply to a 9-month low, reaching around 135,000 – 136,000 VND/kg. Viet Linh Agrimex provides the latest updates on market trends, pricing movements, and export opportunities in the global pepper industry.

Domestic Pepper Prices Decline Due to Supply Surge

In Vietnam’s key growing regions such as the Central Highlands and Southeast provinces, pepper prices have dropped significantly by 7,500 – 8,500 VND/kg compared to last week, equivalent to a decrease of 5.3% – 5.9%.

• Dak Lak and Dak Nong: recorded the steepest declines
• Dong Nai and Binh Phuoc: prices remain around 135,000 VND/kg

The main reason behind this sharp drop is the rapid increase in supply as the harvest season peaks, while market demand has not yet fully absorbed the new output.

Global Pepper Market Shows Mild Fluctuations

In contrast to the domestic market, global pepper prices have remained relatively stable with only slight adjustments:

• Indonesia: approximately 6,994 USD/ton (slight decrease)
• Brazil: down to 6,050 USD/ton
• Vietnam: stable at 6,300 – 6,400 USD/ton (black pepper 500 g/l & 550 g/l)
• Vietnam white pepper: around 9,050 USD/ton

This stability highlights Vietnam’s strong position in the global pepper export market.

Higher Yield Helps Farmers Maintain Profitability

Despite the price decline, the 2026 pepper harvest has shown positive signs in terms of productivity. Many regions have recorded a yield increase of 5% – 10% thanks to:

• Favorable weather conditions
• Improved farming techniques
• Better crop management practices

However, rising labor costs—around 200,000 VND/day for harvesting—are narrowing farmers’ profit margins.

Farmers Adjust Selling Strategies

Facing price volatility, farmers are adopting more flexible selling strategies:

• Avoiding bulk sales immediately after harvest
• Selling in smaller batches over time
• Joining cooperatives and partnering with enterprises

These approaches are considered more sustainable, helping reduce risks and stabilize income.

Opportunities for Exporters Like Viet Linh Agrimex

While falling prices pose short-term challenges, they also create opportunities for exporters to secure raw materials at more competitive costs.

With strong experience in agricultural exports, Viet Linh Agrimex is leveraging this period to:

• Expand certified raw material areas
• Strengthen direct sourcing from farmers
• Boost exports to major markets such as Europe and the United States

By maintaining consistent quality and a sustainable development strategy, Viet Linh Agrimex continues to enhance its competitiveness in the global pepper supply chain.

Market Outlook for Vietnamese Pepper

Although the market is under short-term pressure, the long-term outlook remains positive:

• Demand from the EU and US is recovering
• Increasing global preference for natural spices
• Trade agreements continue to support exports

Pepper prices are expected to stabilize as supply is gradually absorbed and demand increases in the coming quarters.
