BLACK PEPPER: Buyers are watching on the developments in Vietnam, the world-s largest producer and exporter of pepper, which is now in harvesting season. Since there is no significant change in Vietnam pepper price, in most of the producing countries the prices were relatively stable, with the exception of Sri Lanka. A marginal decrease was recorded in Brazil and India in anticipation of material from current crop in Vietnam entering the market.

WHITE PEPPER: In Bangka, Sarawak and HCMC, the white pepper prices remained stable as last week.

IMPORT OF PEPPER BY SINGAPORE:
During nineties Singapore was predominant in pepper trading with a substantial volume of trade of around 44,000mt of import. Indonesia was the main source and has a share of more than 50% of pepper into Singapore. It is interesting to note that pepper trade by Singapore has experienced a substantial decrease and reached only 13,000 mt of import in 2005. The decrease was mainly due to importers in consuming countries sources pepper directly from producing countries. During the last eight years (2005 - 2012) pepper trade in Singapore fluctuated at narrow range and on an average the trade volume remained at the level of 12,000 mt of import.
