After years of fluctuations, in 2021, the pepper industry enjoyed a good growth to regain its position as one of the major export products with revenue from 1 billion USD.
The customs of Nepal has issued a "No Objection Certificate" (NOC) allowing Vietnamese exporters' peppercorn containers that have been stuck in the country for several months to return home, according to the Asia-Africa Market Department under the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT).
The pepper industry plans to reduce the area under the spice and focus instead on improving quality to ensure long-term growth, a seminar heard in Ho Chi Minh City on January 25.
