    Pepper under pressure again

    19 November 2012

    Buyers that sat out of the market for the last three weeks are being rewarded with lower prices from all the major origins. With the Vietnamese crop already beginning to arrive in Binh Phuoc and Dong Nai provinces, and the next Brazilian crop from Espirito Santo beginning in two weeks, the downward pressure is building again.Even though numbers for the Vietnamese crop as low as 90,000 mt were being bandied around the recent IPC meeting in Sri Lanka, the consensus  Click here for the rest of the article

    Ooh! - a Brazilian pepper crop disaster - whoopee!

    10 October 2012

    There is an interesting report circulating around the market this morning attributed to ABEP stating that the Brazilian pepper crop this year is 22,000 mt implying that Brazil is facing a complete crop disaster.Even though we have not seen this report, it is extremely unlikely that the ABEP would have circulated such a number, even as a means to support the price for the Brazilian exporters.
