Globally, pepper prices are currently being affected by many factors at the same time. The main cause is the decline in production in major producing countries such as Vietnam, Indonesia and Brazil, due to prolonged adverse weather conditions. In addition, the rapidly increasing demand for pepper in major markets such as the US and Europe, especially in the food and spice industry, is putting additional pressure on global supply.

The high USD is also a positive factor supporting pepper prices in the international market. However, in Vietnam – the world’s largest pepper exporter – supply is currently limited. Many farmers and traders continue to hold onto their stocks after the harvest, selling only a small portion, making the market scarce.

According to Ptexim's forecast, in March, Vietnam may only export about 16,000 - 18,000 tons of pepper. In the first quarter of 2025, the total export volume is expected to reach only 43,000 - 45,000 tons - the lowest level in the past 6 years. This continues to reinforce the trend that pepper prices may remain high in the coming time if supply does not improve significantly.

Pepper price today April 2 in the world market

In the world market, based on quotes from export enterprises and export prices in various countries, the International Pepper Community (IPC) has updated the prices of pepper of all types traded in the international market on April 1 (local time) as follows:

Indonesian Lampung black pepper prices remained stable compared to yesterday at USD 7,239/ton. In addition, Muntok white pepper prices remained stable compared to yesterday at USD 10,066/ton.

Prices of all types of pepper in Vietnam remained stable compared to yesterday. Of which, the price of Vietnamese black pepper 500 gr/l reached 7,100 USD/ton; 550 gr/l reached 7,300 USD/ton.

Similarly, Vietnam's white pepper price remained unchanged from yesterday at $10,100/ton.

Enio Bergoli, Minister of Agriculture of the state of Espírito Santo (Brazil), said that pepper is growing strongly and is quickly becoming the state's third most important agricultural export. Espírito Santo is currently the largest black pepper producing state in the country, accounting for more than 61% of Brazil's total pepper production.

However, despite these significant gains in production and exports, the Brazilian pepper industry still faces a major challenge: Salmonella contamination. This is a common microorganism that can survive on black pepper – which is often consumed without heat treatment – ​​causing many food safety concerns.

Changes in import standards, especially from the European Union, have almost paralyzed Brazilian pepper exports to this market. The main reason is that the requirements for clean food, no chemical residues and ensuring microbiological safety are increasingly strict. In this situation, the Brazilian government is working with private enterprises to find ways to restore key export markets, especially Europe.
