The Vietnam Pepper and Spice Association (VPSA) said it has sent a petition to the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment regarding the difficulties businesses are facing in the process of applying for Food Safety Certificates for exported plant-based products, especially spices.
From July 1, 2025, the issuance of this certificate will be assigned to provincial agencies to implement according to the provisions of Circular No. 12/2025/TT-BNNMT. However, the new regulation does not fully inherit the previous guidance contents under Circular 44/2018/TT-BNNPTNT, causing confusion in many localities in implementation and causing delays in issuing certificates.
This delay has created many difficulties for export businesses. Goods cannot be cleared through customs on time, affecting contract progress and causing financial losses for businesses.
In particular, businesses in the spice industry are facing major obstacles when they cannot promptly meet certification requirements from export markets such as the EU. This not only causes export stagnation but also disrupts the supply chain, affects raw material procurement and product processing plans, and reduces reputation with international partners.
Pepper price today July 18 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 July 17 (Hanoi time) as follows:
The price of Indonesian Lampung black pepper decreased slightly compared to yesterday, reaching 7,222 USD/ton (down 0.04%). In addition, the price of Muntok white pepper also decreased slightly compared to yesterday, reaching 10,066 USD/ton (down 0.05%).
Brazilian black pepper ASTA 570 price decreased slightly compared to yesterday at 5,750 USD/ton (down 0.86%).
Malaysia’s ASTA black pepper price remained unchanged from yesterday at $8,900/ton. Meanwhile, the country’s ASTA white pepper price remained stable from yesterday at $11,750/ton.
Prices of all types of pepper in Vietnam are stable compared to yesterday. Of which, the price of Vietnamese black pepper 500 gr/l is 6,440 USD/ton; 550 gr/l is 6,570 USD/ton.
Similarly, Vietnam's white pepper price remained unchanged from yesterday at $9,150/ton.
In the global market, major importers such as the US and EU are currently holding back purchases due to the lack of a final decision on the 50% countervailing duty on Brazilian pepper. This wait has slowed down international trade and pushed global inventories to low levels.
In major exporting countries such as India, Indonesia and Malaysia, pepper prices remained almost unchanged. This reflects a cautious sentiment, waiting for clearer market signals.
Despite the shortage of supply, weak purchasing power has prevented pepper prices from rising. Domestically, many businesses are still cautiously buying and waiting for further signals from important markets such as China and Europe. If major importers return early in the fourth quarter, pepper prices are expected to rise again.
Vietnam’s pepper industry is currently facing many challenges due to climate change, rising production costs and increasingly stringent technical barriers from export markets. In this context, the industry needs to shift from mass production to sustainable development and improve product quality.
With global pepper output forecast to continue to decline in 2025, Vietnam is facing a great opportunity to consolidate its export position. The advantages in quality, reputation and clean pepper production capacity will be the foundation for the industry to develop. Currently, many large enterprises have begun to invest in processing factories, build organic raw material areas, creating a solid foundation for a sustainable pepper value chain in the future.
