According to the Vietnam Pepper and Spice Association (VPSA), in February 2025, the U.S. imported 5,942 tons of pepper, down 33.3% compared to January. Of this, the majority came from Vietnam with 3,296 tons, followed by Indonesia with 1,142 tons.
Cumulatively, by the end of February 2025, the U.S.'s pepper imports reached 14,846 tons, a 5.3% increase compared to the same period in 2024. Vietnam remains the leading supplier to the U.S., holding a 60.9% market share with 9,045 tons, although this is a decrease of 18.6% year-on-year. Indonesia follows with a 20.3% share at 3,007 tons, a remarkable 230.8% increase. India ranks third with a 9.2% share, supplying 628 tons, up 31.5% compared to the same period.
The association notes that prices may decline at the moment because the U.S. and some countries are requesting shipment restrictions. However, in the next 1–2 months, prices are expected to be determined mainly by farmers. Therefore, it is advised to only sell enough to meet immediate cash needs rather than sell off inventory, preserving stock for potential price increases.
From now until the end of the year, supply and demand will continue to be the decisive factors. Whether or not the U.S. imposes retaliatory tariffs on Vietnam, the global market still faces a supply shortage, suggesting that prices may rise again.
