Pepper Market Review Week 41 2025

Sellers are hesitant to commit to further out positions due to limited financial capacity and the ongoing difficulty in obtaining bank financing.

Despite being mid-March, there is no significant pressure from farmers to sell their pepper crop, due to high prices for intercropped coffee and Durian fruits. Unlike these crops, pepper can be stored for 10-12 years in ambient temperature and good warehousing conditions. This allows local stockists to hold onto stocks for better returns, much like gold.

Indonesia has sold out the major chunk of their carryover as well as 2024 stocks, and it’s hard to get reasonably priced offers. Limited sellers were quoting US$ 7550 – 7900 for 525 gl cleaned Pepper.

Indian pepper prices increased sharply with very thin arrivals of new crop in the market. Malabar MG-1 Prices are ruling at US$ 8450 pmt FOB Cochin.
