By the second week of November, the global pepper market exhibited a combination of stable and divergent price movements across major producing countries.
India recorded a continued mild downward adjustment in both domestic and international prices compared with the previous week.
Indonesia’s domestic and international pepper prices remained steady throughout the week, supported by balanced market demand and an adequate supply situation.
Malaysia experienced an upward movement in domestic prices, while international prices remained unchanged, reflecting firm overseas demand and moderate supply conditions.
Sri Lanka’s domestic market maintained its stability for the third consecutive week, driven by steady buyer interest and unchanged market fundamentals.
In Viet Nam, only domestic white pepper prices posted a decrease during the week. International quotations for Vietnamese pepper remained stable, supported by consistent export demand and limited fluctuations in global purchasing activity.
