PEPPER MARKET REPORT - KEY HIGHLIGHTS


Global pepper markets displayed varied price patterns across key producing origins, while trading activity generally softened in line with the seasonal slowdown during the Christmas public holiday period.

In India, pepper prices in both domestic and export markets moved higher on a week-to-week basis. This development was supported in part by a nearly 1 percent strengthening of the Indian Rupee, which averaged INR 89.58 per USD over the reporting week.

In Indonesia, pepper prices in local and international markets eased modestly, reflecting short-term market recalibration during the period under review.

In Malaysia, domestic pepper prices continued to show firming conditions, whereas international prices held steady for a third consecutive week, underscoring stability in external demand.

In Sri Lanka, after maintaining stable price levels for four consecutive weeks, the domestic pepper market recorded a noticeable improvement, indicating a gradual upward shift.

In Viet Nam, both domestic and export pepper prices remained unchanged, marking the third successive week of price stability.

Brazilian black pepper prices registered a marginal decline, while prices of Cambodian black pepper and Chinese white pepper showed no variation, maintaining consistent market levels.

During the period January–October 2025, Indonesia exported a total of 29,586 metric tonnes of pepper. Viet Nam emerged as the principal destination, accounting for 5,959 metric tonnes, followed by China, the United States, India, and France.
