Pepper price in India decreased further as the harvest in Kerala and Karnataka is on the peak season. In Lampung and Bangka the price also decreased marginally. In Viet Nam, Sarawak and Sri Lanka the price of pepper were reported stable as last week. In dollar terms however, local price of Sarawak pepper increased marginally by 1% due to strengthening of Malaysian Ringgit against US Dollar. Trade source in Dubai reported that Brazil pepper price was unchanged at the level of US$ 3,300 and US$ 3,200 per Mt for BASTA and B1 respectively.
EXPORT OF PEPPER FROM INDIA
According to Trade Statistics of ITC, India exported (including import for re-export) 23,863 Mt of pepper in 2016, consisting of 11,816 Mt of whole pepper and 12,047 Mt of ground pepper. The United States of America was the main market for India. To meet huge internal demand, India also imported significantly mainly for industrial use of oil and oleoresin. In 2016 India imported 23,484 Mt mainly from Viet Nam and Indonesia. In 2017, production of pepper in India is reportedly higher than 2016. However, total export from India in 2017 is estimated to be lower, while import would be higher. This was due to limited stocks brought forward from last year and increased internal demand. During January - September 2017, export from India was 13,530 Mt as against 17,790 Mt in the same period last year; while for import it has reached 21,700 Mt as against 17,712 Mt in the corresponding period of last year.
