Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam – As the world’s largest black pepper exporter, Vietnam sets the tone for global pricing. Importers and distributors frequently ask: “What is the current Vietnam black pepper price?” The answer reflects not only crop yields but also international demand, competition from Brazil, and policy-driven trade shifts.
📊 Price Trends 2025
- FOB Ho Chi Minh (FAQ grade): USD 3,200 – 3,400/MT
- ASTA premium grade (EU/US): USD 3,500 – 3,700/MT
- Ground pepper (sterilized): USD 3,800 – 4,100/MT depending on specifications
📉 Compared to 2024, prices have softened slightly due to increased supply from Brazil and reduced imports from the Philippines and India. However, steady demand from GCC, Africa, and Europe continues to provide market stability.
🌍 Key Factors Influencing Prices
- Crop yields: Vietnam’s 2025 harvest remains stable, supporting consistent export volumes.
- Global competition: Brazil offers cheaper pepper but faces higher logistics costs for GCC and Asia.
- Import demand: GCC and African buyers maintain high bulk purchases, while Europe and the US prioritize ASTA-certified quality.
