In the Central Highlands and Southeast regions, especially in Gia Lai province, prices increased by 7,500 VND/kg, bringing Dak Nong and Dak Lak provinces to 152,000 VND/kg.

Notably, as of mid-August 2025, Vietnam’s pepper export turnover reached 1.06 billion USD. Experts predict that exports will continue to be favorable in the third and fourth quarters due to sustained high prices and stable demand from the US, EU, China, and Africa.
However, the pepper industry still faces challenges such as supply pressure, climate change, and technical barriers. Experts recommend that businesses focus on quality, transparent traceability, and deeper processing to strengthen their position in the market.
