IMPORT OF PEPPER BY SINGAPORE
During nineties Singapore was predominant in pepper trading with a substantial volume of trade of around 45,000 Mt 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 mainly due to importers in consuming countries started sourceing pepper directly from producing countries.
In the previous few years import of Singapore has shown a significant decrease to only 5,600 Mt in 2017 from 27,000 Mt in 2014. Indonesia supplied 3,000 Mt from 8,400 Mt in 2014 and Viet Nam only 1,000 Mt, a substantial decrease from 15,000 Mt in 2014. Import from Malaysia also decreased at lower rate as shown in the table.
