The local market of producing countries showed a mixed response this week. In India the price decreased marginally. This may be influenced by anticipated better harvest of upcoming crop season. In Sri Lanka, the price increased by 2% from LKR 1,154 to LKR 1,178 per Kg this week. In Lampung, Bangka and Sarawak, the prices were relatively stable.

The International Pepper Conference organized jointly by IPC, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development and Vietnam Pepper Association will be held at Sheraton Hotel, Ho Chi Minh City, during 27th - 30th October 2014. Nearly 400 delegates of government officials, scientist, researchers, exporters, processors, importers and producers/farmers from producing and consuming countries have registered to participate in the big event.
