Vietnam’s pepper exports totaled 142,500 tons in the first half of 2024, against a 2024 harvest of approximately 170,000 tons, leaving an estimated 28,000 tons.
➡A VPSA survey from early July reveals that pepper farming in the Central Highlands is increasingly competing with durian and coffee. New planting areas are limited, with pepper often intercropped with coffee at a 6:2 ratio. Production for the upcoming season might be on par with or slightly higher than 2024.
➡Current challenges include low inventory and ongoing pest issues, but they are manageable. The 2024 harvest faced a severe drought, followed by heavy rains causing waterlogging and disease risks. Excessive rainfall in mid-July led to fruit drop, nutrient deficiencies, and pest infestations. Effective drainage and careful management are crucial for preventing further issues.

➡Vietnam’s pepper exports totaled 142,500 tons in the first half of 2024, against a 2024 harvest of approximately 170,000 tons, leaving an estimated 28,000 tons. With an estimated 40,000-45,000 tons of imports and reduced export supplies expected until the 2025 harvest, prices are likely to fluctuate significantly.
➡Global factors, such as reduced production in Brazil and Indonesia, and logistical challenges due to rising shipping costs and port congestion, will further impact supply and pricing. China’s import restrictions and increased shipping rates add to the complexity, with maritime congestion affecting delivery times and costs.
