Pepper Statistical Yearbook 2020 is Available Now
As authentic and reliable data of production, export, import, price, cultivation area, etc are of
great benefit for the stakeholder of pepper industry, we are pleased to publish the Pepper
Statistical Yearbook 2020 which consist of the most relevant information pertinent to the
pepper industry.
This compilation of self-contained and easily referred to data presents ten years summary of
important statistical data on area, production, export, import, consumption and price of the
producing countries between 2011 - 2020 as well as the latest five years detailed statistic on
import and export pepper of the producing and consuming countries.
Year 2020 saw the increasing of pepper production by 2% as compared with the previous
year as it reached a total of 576 KMT. Thus, giving a major pressure on the global pepper
price which has been significantly low in recent years. New York spot price of pepper in 2020
was reported at an average of USD 3,087 per Mt for black pepper and USD 4,160 per Mt for
white pepper, recording a 2% increase for black pepper and 18% deficit for white pepper as
compared to 2019. The total pepper export of producing countries in 2020 recorded an
increase by 2 KMT as opposed to the previous year. Whilst the total import of the consuming
countries was reported with a slight 4% increase as compared with the same period in 2019.
The success of the publication of the Pepper Statistical Yearbook 2020 is highly due to the
cooperation and support of the IPC Member Countries, ITC Geneva, FAO and other relevant
organization which could not be named individually. The updated and relevant information
and data provided by them were the key to compiling a reliable historical data series.
