Vietnam’s pepper industry
Vietnam is the world’s largest producer and exporter of pepper, accounting for roughly one-third of global supply.
The industry is concentrated in provinces such as Dak Lak, Dak Nong, Gia Lai, and Ba Ria–Vung Tau, where smallholder farmers dominate production.
Exports are primarily in black and white pepper, with key markets including the United States, EU, India, and the Middle East.
In recent years, fluctuating global prices, rising input costs, and quality control requirements have pressured margins.
