Vietnam International Pepper and Spice Outlook 2024 (VIPO 2024)

VIPO 2024 heralds the comeback of Vietnam's Pepper and Spice event, now known as the Vietnam Pepper and Spice Association, signifying a strategic shift beyond pepper to encompass the entire spice sector. This evolution is poised to garner significant attention in the global spice market.

With an aim to attract interest from worldwide spice stakeholders, VIPO 2024 plans to bring together international delegates, representing diverse organizations, exporters, importers, and local businesses. The event will serve as a platform uniting Vietnam's top pepper and spice exporters, suppliers, cooperatives, farmers, government bodies, and non-governmental organizations, fostering networking, knowledge exchange, collaborative discussions, and exploring opportunities through meetings and exhibitions spotlighting Vietnamese spice exporters.

Moreover, VIPO 2024 includes tours of key spice-producing regions in Vietnam, offering visits to cinnamon gardens in Yen Bai and pepper gardens in Dak Lak.

In response to global challenges, Vietnam's Pepper and Spice industry aims for proactive sustainable and comprehensive development through VIPO 2024. Beyond a mere industry gathering, this event focuses on strategizing for a sustainable future, emphasizing economic, environmental, and social dimensions.

VIPO 2024 not only highlights industry trends but also proposes practical solutions and strategies for holistic, sustainable growth. It's more than an information-sharing platform; it fosters new connections, innovation, and elevates product standards, aiming to stimulate cooperation and innovation, potentially shaping Vietnam's Pepper and Spice sector.

Organized by the Vietnam Pepper and Spice Association (VPSA) in collaboration with the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT) and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD), VIPO 2024 involves active participation from international partners and organizations, creating a diverse forum driving the transformative journey towards sustainable development in Vietnam's Pepper and Spice industry.

“Theme: Sustainability through Inclusivity”

Vietnam stands out globally in Pepper and Cassia production, ranking second in Star Anise exports. Consequently, ensuring comprehensive sustainability in the spice industry has become increasingly critical despite ongoing discussions and programs lacking full implementation.

The United Nations prioritizes Sustainable Development with Inclusion. However, about 90% of Pepper farmers lack formal agricultural education and are aging, dissuading younger generations due to perceived economic unsustainability. Unpredictable weather patterns stress tropical plants, leading to reduced yields.

However, about 90% of Pepper farmers lack formal agricultural education and are aging, dissuading younger generations due to perceived economic unsustainability. Unpredictable weather patterns stress tropical plants, leading to reduced yields.

In recent years, Pepper prices remained low due to disruptions in demand, triggering steep price hikes even with minor supply chain disturbances. Traditionally, Pepper prices in Vietnam doubled those of coffee. Yet, a 5% drop in Vietnam's coffee crop and reduced yields in Brazil resulted in record-high coffee prices, surpassing local pepper prices.

This fluctuation steers farmers toward more profitable alternatives like coffee, fruits, and vegetables. Insufficient information and training create significant gaps, necessitating a farmer-focused strategy for success.

Hence, VIPO 2024 adopts the theme "Sustainability through Inclusivity," aiming to empower farmers beyond traditional sustainable models and programs, making them central to effective sustainable strategies.

Visits to Pepper gardens

VIPO 2024 will bring a practical and interesting experience upon delegates request to have a day out trip to visit some pepper plantations in Dak Lak Province - which accounts for 23% of Vietnam's pepper production. Particularly, in March when Dak Lak farmers are busy preparing for the new pepper harvest. Visitors can catch sight of green pepper on the strikes before berries get fully mature. At this time, experts can assess the increase or decrease of pepper productivity and production in comparison with previous years throughout the visited area and then well prepare business plans and strategies. For your reference, here are some pictures the VPSA organised to visit the pepper gardens in 2023.
