Top 3 the best pepper suppliers in global markets
Vietnam exports the most peppers, with 232 thousand tons, followed by Brazil with around 56 thousand tons. Indonesia came in third place with about 23 thousand tons.
Vietnam
The soil conditions (soil, weather) in Vietnam are ideal for growing pepper plants. A bigger amount than India or Brazil, and more than the global average pepper volume, is produced by good farming practices and pleasant natural conditions.
The main Vietnam pepper export goods are black pepper and white pepper, which account for just around 10-15% of total production output. Customers who purchase Vietnamese pepper frequently request black pepper.
The main markets importing Vietnam’s pepper are the United States, UAE, India, Pakistan…
Brazil
Brazil’s pepper export volume has climbed again due to greater supply from the new harvest. Black pepper is the most popular pepper in Brazil.
In terms of the export market, Brazil’s pepper exports to the United States and Vietnam have been declining, but shipments to Germany, Pakistan, and, particularly, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have climbed significantly in the first nine months
Indonesia
White pepper accounted for over half of Indonesia’s pepper exports (12,413 tons), while whole-grain black pepper accounted for the other third (9,701 tons).
The two main pepper consumption markets in Indonesia are Vietnam and China. However, in the first eight months of this year, both import volumes from these countries fell by 25.6 percent and 36.7 percent respectively. The reason for this is that the outbreak lasted a long period, reducing the need for pepper at large restaurants. Indonesia’s pepper exports to the Netherlands, Germany, and India, on the other hand, surged considerably.
