Vietnam: Pepper exports likely to hit high $780m
HA NOI — Viet Nam this year can earn up to US$780 million from its pepper exports if the price of pepper remains at a high of more than US$7,000 per tonne, said the Viet Nam Pepper Association (VPA).
The total pepper export volume would reach between 110,000 and 115,000 tonnes, according to the VPA.
In case world pepper prices fall from July's high, pepper farmers have the choice of keeping their harvested pepper in stock to wait for prices to rise again.
