Pepper price today August 28, 2025: Strong increase reaching important milestone

Domestic pepper prices continued to increase thanks to a number of positive factors. Domestic supply has begun to be limited as the harvest is about to end, while demand from processing and exporting enterprises has also increased after a period of stagnation. In addition, pepper prices in India and Brazil have shown signs of a slight increase, dragging down domestic prices.

According to Mr. Hoang Phuoc Binh, Permanent Vice President and General Secretary of the Chu Se Pepper Association (Gia Lai), the current cost of pepper production ranges from 70,000 to 80,000 VND/kg.

Compared to before, the current selling price has brought more attractive profits to farmers, encouraging them to return to pepper cultivation. However, according to Mr. Binh, the number of households planting new or replanting is very small and insignificant. Every year, the rate of pepper plants dying naturally in gardens is about 5-7%, and the area of new planting is still lower than this number.

On the export side, orders from the European and American markets are gradually improving after many months of interruption. International freight rates are also more stable, helping Vietnamese pepper maintain its competitiveness. Notably, many international customers are willing to accept higher prices due to concerns about supply shortages at the end of the year.

With an average price of nearly VND149,000/kg, many farmers have begun to make significant profits compared to the beginning of the year when the price was just below VND130,000/kg. However, experts still advise farmers to be cautious with unpredictable market fluctuations, because pepper prices depend largely on the global situation and domestic supply and demand.

In the short term, the outlook for pepper prices is considered positive as supply continues to shrink and the export market shows signs of recovery. If international demand remains stable, the possibility of domestic prices exceeding VND150,000/kg in the near future is entirely possible.
