Hanoi (VNA) - Vietnam’s pepper exports maintained strong growth momentum of over 25%, earning nearly 1.4 billion USD in the first ten months of 2025.

According to the Vietnam Pepper and Spice Association (VPSA), the country exported 19,430 tonnes of pepper in October, including 16,464 tonnes of black and 2,966 tonnes of white pepper, with a total value of 129.5 million USD. While export volume and value dropped slightly from September, both rose year-on-year by 5.1% and 7.7%, respectively. Average export prices stood at 6,443 USD per tonne for black pepper and 8,392 USD per tonne for white pepper.

In the first 10 months, Vietnam exported 206,427 tonnes of pepper worth 1.39 billion USD, down 5.9% in volume but up 25.4% in value from a year earlier. The US remained the largest market, importing 44,262 tonnes (21.4%), followed by the UAE, China, India, and Germany.

On the import side, Vietnam brought in 37,783 tonnes of pepper worth nearly 237 million USD, a sharp increase from last year. Brazil was the largest supplier, accounting for nearly half of total imports.

While Vietnam retains its global leadership in pepper exports, competition from Brazil is intensifying as the South American country boosts output and benefits from a weaker currency and competitive logistics costs.

Meanwhile, cinnamon exports also performed well, reaching nearly 99,463 tonnes worth 249.5 million USD in the same period, up 25.1% in volume and 13.2% in value year-on-year, with India, the US, Bangladesh, the UAE, and China among key buyers./.
