BLACK PEPPER

Hundred years ago, the traders dealt 1kg of black pepper price equal 1kg gold!

Thus. people called it as King of Spice. This spicy fruit is cultivated in South Asia and Southeast Asia and has been known to Indian cooking since at least 2000 BCE.

Nowadays, this spice is harvesting in Vietnam, India, Brazil, Indonesia, Cambodia, Malaysia, Madagascar. The Vietnamese farmers are planting it in huge quantity with 150,000 ha. Hence, their production around 240,000 tons. More than 40% of total black pepper in the world.

Since 2014-2015, the price of black pepper from Vietnam moved up to $10,000 per ton (500gl ASTA). Moreover, this price level surpassed cashew nut costing which always high.

Hence, all farmers in countries grow pepper, planted more and more. After 2-3 years, these new pepper trees give the first production. Therefore, the total supply of black pepper increased by 8-10%, while the demand increased only 2%.

Brazil farmers increased their production from 30,000 tons in 2016 to 80,000 tons in 2018. Furthermore, the expert is estimating production in Brazil increased by 28% in 2019. Cambodia increased production by 15% in 2019.

With all the above reason, the situation of “King spice” is falling. Black pepper price is now even lower than Cassia, Star anise!

The black pepper price of Black Pepper in Vietnam has been fallen. It went down from $10,000 per ton in 2016 till $2200 per ton in 2019.

In fact, at price $2200 per ton, the farmers are losing money. And this depression in black pepper price market won’t stop until supply-demand will adjust the market.

Moreover, the expert is predicting price trend staying at a high level until the end of 2020. Even some farmers are being bankrupted.

The head of big manufacturers and ministries in Vietnam, Brazil, India, Indonesia stays together in one room. Accordingly, they released the idea to grow Organic Black Pepper, cleaned, no pesticide residual. However, this is still hard with farmers because what they want is fast growing, money back immediately.
