1. Domestic Pepper Prices (Updated: July 9, 2026)
The simultaneous increase across Vietnam’s key pepper-growing regions reflects improving demand from export companies.

Province Farmgate Price (VND/kg) Change

Đak Nong 141.000 +5.000

Đak Lak 140.000 +4.000

Binh Phuoc 138.000 +4.000

Gia Lai 138.000 +3.000

Note: Actual purchasing prices may vary depending on pepper quality and individual buyers.

2. Expert Insight: What Is Driving the Price Increase?
From a B2B perspective, the recent price surge is not merely a short-term supply-demand fluctuation. It is primarily driven by two key factors:

– Farmers Holding Back Supply: Following the previous price decline, many growers have chosen to delay sales in anticipation of higher prices, resulting in tighter short-term domestic suppl

– Stronger Export Procurement: Exporters are actively increasing purchases to fulfill end-of-quarter contracts, creating stronger competition among domestic buyers and pushing prices upward.

Meanwhile, the global pepper market remains relatively stable. Indonesia’s Lampung Black Pepper is currently equivalent to approximately VND 204,997/kg, suggesting that Vietnam’s domestic pepper prices are gradually moving closer to international market values.
