Pepper prices rise further this week. Significant increase was recorded in Vietnam from VND 152,500 per mt last week to VND 164,500 this week for black pepper. White pepper also increased from VND 197,500 per kg to VND 212,500 this week. The increase reflected that stock in Vietnam has limited; while upcoming crop in Lampung in August is anticipated to be significantly lower. In Lampung and India the price also increased. In dollar terms however, local price in Kochi decreased due weakening of Indian Rupees against US Dollar. In Sarawak and Sri Lanka the price were reported stable.
