Tend to decrease due to pressure from low demand

According to forecasts, pepper prices on November 5 may continue to decline due to pressure from low demand and the continued high USD. Vietnam's pepper exports have continuously decreased in recent months.

One of the main reasons for the sharp drop in pepper prices is the influx of money into the coffee market. With the new coffee harvest season just beginning, many dealers have been actively purchasing coffee, which means reducing their pepper reserves to raise capital, creating downward pressure on the pepper market.

The sharp increase in the value of the US dollar is also a factor that negatively affects Vietnam's pepper export prices. When the US dollar increases in value, Vietnam's export goods become more expensive in the international market, reducing competitiveness and causing prices to fall.

Prices from Indonesia are more competitive, which may be one of the main reasons why the amount of pepper exported from this country to China has increased sharply in recent times.

Experts predict that domestic pepper prices may continue to decrease in the coming time if there are no positive signals from the world market and domestic consumption demand does not improve.
