Local prices of Malaysian black pepper fell last week. Meanwhile, the other types are unchanged. Meanwhile, Vietnam's domestic and export pepper prices are unchanged. The domestic market is in a quiet phase despite the end of this year's harvest.
In terms of exports in the first quarter of 2023, exports to China increased dramatically. Exports to some other markets increased such as Iran by 461%; Türkiye increased by 331.3%; Egypt by 218.4%; Senegal increased by 148.8%... Meanwhile, the United States, Germany, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and India decreased.
