WPB Week #38/14, 15 - 19 September 2014
Pepper prices in almost all origins, except India increased. Trading activities however were limited, in view of tight stock in producing countries. Although Brazil has started the harvest, global market is likely to remain tight for the rest of the months this year as stock at leading producing countries like Vietnam has exhausted and output of recent harvest in Lampung is also not encouraging. In Lampung, Vietnam and Sarawak local prices increased marginally by 1% this week and a 5% increase was recorded in Sri Lanka. In Belem, the price of Brazilian black also increased. In India, although experienced a decrease, the price of Malabar black remained the highest.
EXPORT OF PEPPER FROM BRAZIL:
During August 2014, Brazil exported 1,902 Mt of pepper valued at USD 17.45 million as against 1,508 Mt valued at USD 9.76 million exported in August 2013, registering an increase of 26% in quantity and 79% in value. Export in August has also shown an increase from exports in previous months. The increase was possible supported by availability of new material as crop season in Brazil this year has started earlier. During January - August however, total export of pepper from Brazil decreased from 17,557 Mt in 2013 to 16,264 Mt this year. Under the situation of high prevailing price levels this year, lower exports reflected the supply was limited.
