Hanoi:Vietnam exported 202,414 tonnes of pepper from the start of the year to September 15, generating 1.32 billion USD in revenue. This represents a 15.2% increase in volume and a 10.3% rise in value compared to the previous year.

According to Vietnam News Agency, the outlook for the pepper industry is positive, but there is a need for enhanced efforts to standardize growing areas, improve product value, and bolster competitiveness.
