peppercorn

The volume of Vietnam’s pepper exports to important markets has decreased this year, but the country has retained its top spot in the global rankings, heard a conference held in Ho Chi Minh City on December 21.

Vietnam’s peppercorn exports to Germany face various obstacles due to the ravages of COVID-19 in many countries across the globe, according to the Vietnam Trade Promotion Agency (Vietrade) under the Ministry of Industry and Trade.

A memorandum of understanding has been signed among the Plant Protection Department under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, the Sustainable Trade Initiative (IDH), and the Sustainable Spices Initiative (SSI) with a view to promoting sustainable peppercorn production and trading.
