The pepper harvest season in Vietnam lasts from January to the end of April in key growing areas. Some pepper growing areas in Quang Tri extend the harvest season until the end of June, this number is not much.
Regarding the assessment of the next pepper crop, there is currently a lot of conflicting information. Some gardeners shared that in this new pepper season, their pepper gardens did not produce fruit. However, there are gardeners who say they expect to receive a bumper crop. This is due to weather factors.
However, to grasp the exact numbers, it is necessary to go to each area and each commune of the key pepper growing area. Many opinions believe that it is not until the end of the year, around November or December, that a fairly accurate forecast of output can be made.
If the next pepper crop is a little better than the previous crop, it will still not be able to make up for the pepper area that has been lost recently and is still continuing to be lost. Therefore, it is forecast that the price increase cycle will continue to last.

The Ministry of Industry and Trade is currently soliciting comments from businesses on the establishment of a Commodity Exchange and pepper will also be one of the traded items, said Ms. Hoang Thi Lien - Chairwoman of the Pepper and Tree Association. Spice (VPSA) said.
This is not a new idea. Previously, the proposal to establish a pepper trading floor was also proposed by the Vietnam Pepper Association (predecessor of VPSA) 8 years ago (May 2016). The association believes that Vietnam's pepper has accounted for over 50% of the world's trade output for many years and the establishment of the trading floor will help the industry have more power to develop the market and dominate global pepper trade.
VPA added that pepper is an item that can be stored in warehouses for 2-3 years, so farmers know how to keep goods waiting for the right price to sell, something that has never happened with other agricultural products. However, this mentality makes the pepper market unstable. That is also one of the main reasons for VPA to develop the idea of establishing a pepper trading floor.
