Vietnam Pepper Market Update: June 2024 – A Spicy Surge

The Vietnam pepper market is on fire, with prices reaching a scorching 144,000 VND per kilogram. This marks a dramatic 112% increase year-over-year and the highest price in nine years. The rapid ascent has surprised consumers and businesses alike, with pepper now surpassing coffee and cocoa in value. Some even quip that “pepper is rising faster than gold.”
The Heat is On: Supply and Demand Dynamics
High prices haven’t deterred demand. In fact, farmers are holding onto their stock, anticipating further price increases. This is putting pressure on exporters struggling to fulfill contracts. Even established spice exporters to the US and EU are feeling the pinch, rationing their dwindling inventories and cautiously purchasing new supplies.
The current shortage is attributed to low stockpiles in major producing countries like Vietnam, India, and Brazil, coupled with robust global demand. Vietnam’s pepper production is projected to drop further in 2024 due to El Nino, exacerbating the supply crunch.
Global Market: A Fiery Outlook
Vietnam dominates the global pepper market, accounting for 40% of production and 60% of the market share. The global pepper market is valued at approximately $5.4 billion USD and is forecasted to grow at an average of 20% annually from 2024 to 2032.
The US remains Vietnam’s largest pepper export market, followed by China, India, and Germany. The International Pepper Community (IPC) reports rising prices for black pepper in Indonesia and stable prices in Brazil and Malaysia, further fueling the global price surge.
Export Performance: A Five-Month Sizzle
In the first five months of 2024, Vietnam exported 114,424 tons of pepper, including 100,971 tons of black pepper and 13,453 tons of white pepper. The total export value reached 493.1 million USD, with black pepper accounting for 417.7 million USD and white pepper for 75.4 million USD.
The United States remained Vietnam’s largest pepper export market, receiving 30,466 tons. Germany emerged as the second-largest export market, importing 7,532 tons. Other significant markets included India (6,933 tons), the UAE (5,639 tons), the Netherlands (5,067 tons), and China (4,871 tons). Several markets experienced impressive export growth, such as Italy (179.0%), Russia (49.7%), Spain (49.1%), and Egypt (39.0%). Germany, the US, the Netherlands, Thailand, and China were the largest consumers of Vietnamese white pepper.
Prosi: A Rising Star in the Pepper Export Arena
Amidst the market frenzy, Prosi has emerged as a standout performer. As a top 10 Vietnamese exporter, Prosi recorded a remarkable 18.4% increase in exports during the first five months of 2024, reaching 3,021 tons. This achievement underscores Prosi’s growing reputation for quality, reliability, and adaptability in the dynamic pepper market.
The Road Ahead: A Spicy Forecast
Experts predict that the pepper market has entered a new price cycle, expected to last 8-10 years. The current price surge has already exceeded the most optimistic forecasts, and the market shows no signs of cooling down.
