Vietnam for many years remained the world leader in pepper export price and be proactive .

 

This year , Vietnam will export 150,000 tonnes of pepper , achieving a turnover of $ 1 billion , the highest ever .

 

According to reports from the Vietnam Pepper Association , and pepper in the world in 2014 only about 320,000 tonnes to 45,000 tonnes decline from last year , while demand has increased . Vietnam for many years remained the world leader in pepper export price and be proactive . This is an opportunity to adjust export prices increased by supply shortages .

 

Deals

 

Do Ha Nam , chairman of the Vietnam Pepper Association , said pepper production capacity at present in most countries are unlikely to increase , lower global reserves , the ability to supply and demand imbalances can occur .

 

Buy direct sales tend to increase, the largest spice processing , retail distributors , food processors tend to buy directly from the pepper producing countries to have stable raw material source limit buy through dealers , intermediaries .

 

Vietnam Pepper has a big proportion of the overwhelming production ( over 30 % ) and export market ( accounting for over 50 % ) , with competitive prices . If the exporters of Vietnam will unanimously enough to stabilize market prices .

 

However, according to Mr. Phan Minh Thong , CEO of Easter Company , to be proactive cost businesses should partner with reputable customers are determined not to sell or the person or business with " ruffled " contract ( when they are not receiving the price down ) . If determined not to do so , the risk will occur for domestic enterprises .

 

Many pepper plants grown on land not suitable affect productivity

 

World volume decreased , while consumption increased by 4% -5 % / year , this is an opportunity for Vietnam to invest all the pepper plants , standard exported to countries difficult , the price increase treatment at a higher price . Four months in , the enterprise has exported 75 514 tons of pepper types , compared with the same period last year increased 40.2 % , turnover of 519.2 million (up 46.3 % ) . With black pepper $ 6,596 / ton , white pepper $ 9,606 / ton , a record so far .

 

Pepper prices in the past year increased continuously , the area planted in water consumption will also increase . 2011 cultivated area is about 52,000 ha , 54,500 ha in 2012 increased in 2013 to 57,000 ha and 62,000 ha in 2014 . Whether cultivated area increased whereas the regression output . 2011 production of up to 120,000 tons , while in 2012 increased area of 2,500 hectares , but yields dropped to 110,000 tons . 2013 increased area of ​​5,000 hectares , but production is only 2011. 2014 , the area increased to 10,000 ha but only yields about 125,000 tons .

 

The reason for this situation is so unstable that pepper prices high at 150,000-170,000 dong / kg so many people jumping on the bluff grown on land not suitable leads to low productivity . Garden longtime goal should have been demolished , but because of the high price planting pepper plants , many old farmers still retain exploitation followed , making the target more susceptible to disease , declining productivity . Area targets aging , disease and death from 1000-1200 ha / year , while only growing area of about 2,500 ha / year .

 

The area planted to target rising " hot " in both the land of natural conditions not suitable , abuse of chemical fertilizers , chemical pesticides for organic farming instead . This not only reduces productivity but also affects the environment , insect development , orchard recession , many pepper plants die-off .

 

According to the Vietnam Pepper Association , pepper cultivated area in the country this year is about 62,000 ha , with production from 125000-130000 tons , of which exports about 150,000 tonnes ( including re-exports about 20,000 tonnes ) , turnover of $ 1 billion . Here's pepper exports greatest ever .
