Strategic Resilience and Record-Breaking Milestones: Prosi Group’s 2025 Annual Performance Review
The year 2025 was a definitive “pressure test” for the global agricultural trade. For Prosi Group, it was a period characterized by a “perfect storm” of logistical bottlenecks, shifting geopolitical landscapes, and complex international trade policies. Yet, in the face of these headwinds, our commitment to operational excellence allowed us to not only navigate the turbulence but to emerge with a historic, record-breaking performance.
For our valued partners and brokers, this report details how we transformed a challenging global environment into a year of unprecedented growth and reliability.
Navigating the Global “Pressure Test”
The 2025 fiscal year was marked by several external disruptions:
- Geopolitical & Tax Shifts: The implementation of US countervailing duties and evolving international tax frameworks required immediate strategic agility.
- Logistical Complexity: Global shipping constraints and rising transit costs tested the limits of “just-in-time” supply chains.
- Domestic Restructuring: Vietnam’s internal administrative shifts and province mergers created a new landscape for regional sourcing and documentation.
Despite these hurdles, Prosi Group leaned into its core strength: The Farm-to-Port Model. By maintaining direct control over our supply chain, we ensured that the “spice flow” remained uninterrupted for our clients worldwide.
A Year of Vertical Growth: Sector Highlights
Our success in 2025 was driven by a diversified approach across our four core pillars, with each sector achieving significant milestones:
1. Cinnamon (Cassia) & Star Anise: Defending the Crown
As the cornerstone of our spice division, we successfully defended our position as Vietnam’s Top 1 Exporter for both products.
- Cinnamon: We reached a total volume of 18,038 tons, a robust 19% increase over 2024. Our ability to secure premium raw materials despite regional weather volatility ensured we remained the primary choice for global brokers.
- Star Anise: In an increasingly competitive regional market, we remained the undisputed leader, exporting 2,507 tons characterized by high essential oil content and visual purity.
2. Cashews: The Strategic Breakout
The standout performer of 2025 was our cashew division. We witnessed an explosive 84% growth (+3,582 tons), reaching a total of 12,081 tons. This surge propelled Prosi Group into the Top 7 Cashew Exporters in Vietnam, a testament to our recent investments in high-tech processing and BRC-compliant quality control.
3. Pepper: Resilience Against Trade Barriers
Despite the significant headwinds posed by the US countervailing duty policies, our pepper exports reached 6,140 tons—a 4% increase. By diversifying our market reach and focusing on high-quality white and black pepper, we provided our partners with a stable supply route even when trade barriers were at their highest.
Operational Excellence in Numbers
At our operational peak in 2025, Prosi Group managed the seamless transit of 256 containers per month. This logistical feat was supported by our seven state-of-the-art factories, ensuring that every container met the most stringent international standards.
This relentless focus on execution resulted in a historic annual revenue of $181 million USD (over 4.59 trillion VND).
Quality Compliance: Our Global Passport
We understand that for our international clients, reliability is built on certification. Throughout 2025, we maintained and renewed our rigorous audit-ready status across all major benchmarks:
- BRC Global Standard (Grade A): Ensuring the highest food safety protocols.
- Kosher (Pareve) & Halal: Providing universal accessibility for diverse consumer markets.
- FDA & ESG Compliance: Aligning with the modern requirements of the North American and European markets.

A Legacy of Performance: Surmounting the Challenges of 2025
The past year was a true “pressure test” for the global supply chain. Between shifting geopolitical landscapes, complex logistics, and evolving tax policies, the industry faced significant headwinds. However, Prosi Group turned these obstacles into a record-breaking year:
- Market Dominance: We successfully defended our Top 1 position for Cinnamon and Star Anise exports, while our Cashew division surged by 84%, placing us among the Top 7 exporters in Vietnam.
- Operational Scale: At our peak, we managed a logistics flow of 256 containers per month, resulting in a historic annual revenue of over 181 millions USD.

Vietnam Star Anise 2025: A Year of Price Resilience and Strategic Pivot
The 2025 fiscal year has drawn to a close, leaving behind a complex but promising trail for the Vietnamese Star Anise industry. As a global leader in this sector, Prosi Group provides a deep dive into the shifts in volume, pricing volatility, and the emerging dominance of premium markets that defined the past 12 months.
📊 The Macro View: Volume Stability vs. Value Compression
According to the latest VPSA data, Vietnam’s Star Anise exports reached 14,307 tons in 2025. While this represents a modest 2.2% growth in volume compared to 2024, the total export turnover settled at $58.7 million—an 8.0% decline in value.
The narrative of 2025 was one of “Value Correction.” After the high-price cycles of previous years, the market faced downward pressure due to increased regional competition and a temporary slowdown in global industrial demand during the first three quarters.
📈 The “Year-End Rally”: A Q4 Pricing Surge
The most compelling story of 2025 lies in the final quarter. While the annual average price dipped to $4,237/ton (down 11.2% from 2024), Q4 witnessed a spectacular recovery:
- October: $4,991/ton (+12.1% YoY)
- November: $5,034/ton (+11.4% YoY)
- December: $4,546/ton (+26.0% YoY)
This late-year momentum signals a tightening of high-quality supply and a robust restocking phase from major global buyers entering 2026.
🌍 Market Footprint: The “India Anchor” & The “American Surge”
Vietnam’s Star Anise remains highly concentrated, yet strategically expanding:
- India (The Anchor): Remains the undisputed central hub, absorbing 9,896 tons (69.2% market share). India’s 5.8% growth confirms its role as the world’s primary processing and consumption engine for Star Anise.
- USA (The Growth Engine): In a landmark shift, exports to the United States skyrocketed by 82.9%, reaching 1,030 tons. This reflects a growing appetite in the West for high-essential-oil-content Star Anise for the pharmaceutical and premium F&B sectors.
- Emerging Frontiers: Remarkable triple-digit growth in markets like Pakistan (+306%) and Peru (+193%) suggests that Vietnamese Star Anise is successfully penetrating new culinary and industrial geographies.
🏆 Competitive Landscape: Prosi Thăng Long Leads the Charge
Despite a fragmented exporter base, Prosi Thăng Long has officially secured its position as the #1 Star Anise Exporter in Vietnam, commanding a 16.6% market share with 2,374 tons.
In a year defined by price sensitivity, our strategy focused on Execution Excellence and Quality Consistency. While some segments of the market faced volume retreats, Prosi Group maintained its lead by bridging the gap between local farming cooperatives and the stringent standards of our global partners.
🧭 The 2026 Strategic Outlook
The data from 2025 presents a clear mandate for the industry: Diversification and Value-Add.
- Reducing Over-reliance: While India remains vital, the surge in the USA and EU markets proves that quality-driven buyers are willing to pay a premium for certified, traceable Star Anise.
- Climate & Compliance: As supply chains become more transparent, Prosi Group is doubling down on ESG-compliant sourcing to navigate the evolving “Green” regulations in premium markets.
Final Thought: 2025 was a foundation-building year. The price rally in December suggests that 2026 will be a year of high demand and strategic sourcing.

Scaling the Summit: Vietnam’s Cinnamon Export Dominance in 2025
As we close the books on 2025, the data confirms a transformative shift in the global spice trade: Vietnam has solidified its position as the undisputed “Spice King” of the Cinnamon market. For global importers and brokers, understanding the 2025 momentum is critical for navigating the supply chain complexities of 2026. At Prosi Group, we have analyzed the year-end figures to provide you with a strategic roadmap for the months ahead.
1. The Q4 Momentum: A Masterclass in Resilience
After a challenging third quarter, the market witnessed an extraordinary V-shaped recovery.
- The December Surge: Exports reached 11,366 tons in December, a sharp +20.07% increase from November. This marked the third consecutive month of growth, driven by peak holiday demand in the West and Lunar New Year restocking in Asia.
- A New Baseline: The year concluded with a total volume of 120,295 tons. To put that in perspective, 2025 outperformed 2024 by ~19% and 2023 by a staggering ~35%.
The Takeaway: Global reliance on Vietnamese Cassia is no longer seasonal; it is a structural preference over other origins like Indonesia or Sri Lanka.
2. Global Market Shift: The Rise of the “Trade Hubs”
While traditional markets remain strong, 2025 revealed a fascinating shift in how Cinnamon flows across the globe:
- The “Big Three” Backbone: India (37.6% share), the USA (11.3%), and Bangladesh (8.5%) remain the primary engines of demand. India alone absorbed over 45,000 tons, reclaiming its role as the dominant consumer and processor.
- The Hub Strategy: We saw explosive growth in transit hubs. Singapore surged by +364% and UAE by +108%. This indicates that international traders are increasingly using these hubs to manage logistics and financial hedging before redistributing to final destinations.
- The China Rebound: After a period of stagnation, demand from China skyrocketed by +147%, likely due to a domestic supply gap and a shift toward higher-quality Vietnamese imports.
3. The 2026 Landscape: Red Sea, EUDR, and Strategic Sourcing
As we transition into 2026, the “Golden Age” of Vietnamese Cinnamon faces a more complex regulatory and logistical environment:
- Logistics Alert: Continued tensions in the Red Sea mean longer transit times (10-14 days extra) and elevated ocean freight. Strategy: Buyers must prioritize earlier booking and higher safety stocks.
- The “Green” Filter: With EUDR (European Deforestation Regulation) and ESG mandates taking full effect, 2026 will be the year that separates professional exporters from casual traders. Compliance is no longer an option—it is a ticket to the market.
- Sourcing Trends: The “China + 1” strategy continues to favor Vietnam as global buyers seek stability outside traditional geopolitical zones.
4. Prosi Group: The Market Maker’s Perspective
In a year of record-breaking industry performance, Prosi Group has reached a milestone that redefines leadership:
- Unrivaled Scale: We ended 2025 as the #1 Exporter with 18,028 tons—holding a 15% total market share. Our volume is now 2.5 times larger than our nearest competitor.
- Operational Stability: While many large players saw a -90% dip in December volume due to supply chain fatigue, Prosi remained steady, exporting 1,335 tons (the highest in the market).
- Why it matters to you: Our scale allows us to act as a Market Maker. We offer price stability, guaranteed execution, and the most robust ESG-compliant supply chain in Vietnam.
Conclusion & 2026 Outlook
We forecast 2026 to grow at a more disciplined rate of 8-12%. Quality standards will tighten, and logistical costs will remain a variable. In this environment, the “Prosi Advantage” is your greatest hedge against uncertainty.
To our global partners: Thank you for trusting us through a record-breaking year. To those looking to secure a stable, high-volume supply for 2026—let’s start the conversation today.

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.
