Pepper prices are still better than in previous years, many farmers have made high profits. Short-term price increases and decreases may occur because this commodity is affected by many factors.

In the short term, the pepper market is expected to continue to face many fluctuations. Pepper prices may remain stable or decrease slightly due to limited supply and no signs of strong recovery in demand.

However, in the long term, when the world economic situation is more stable and climate change adaptation solutions are effectively implemented, the pepper market will likely recover and develop again.
