Meanwhile, exports to France and Poland declined sharply, falling by 63.27 percent and 61.43 percent, respectively.
The top five markets—the US, Germany, India, the UK, and South Korea—accounted for 52.65 percent of Vietnam’s total pepper exports in January. While some smaller markets showed strong growth, the overall decline reflects weaker demand in key export destinations.
