Vietnam International Pepper Outlook

The Vietnamese Pepper and Spice event that takes place every two years is about to return. A special feature of this event is that it marks the innovation of the Vietnam Pepper Association, changing its name to the Vietnam Pepper and Spice Association, which means this year's event will not focus on the industry alone. Pepper expanded to the entire spice industry. It is expected to attract great attention in the world spice market. VIPO 2024 will be the gathering place for hundreds of international delegates who are representatives of international organizations, pepper and spice exporters and importers around the world, along with the participation of export businesses. Vietnam's leading pepper and spice exporters, suppliers, cooperatives, farmers, government ministries, non-governmental organizations,... This is an opportunity to meet and find understand, discuss, share and seek cooperation opportunities through activities including main meetings and exhibition booths of Vietnamese pepper and spice exporters.

In this series of events, VIPO 2024 also organizes tours and surveys of cinnamon gardens in Yen Bai and pepper gardens in Dak Lak. These are key raw material areas for pepper and spices in Vietnam.

“Theme: Sustainability Through Inclusivity”

Vietnam is the leading country in the production and export of Pepper and Cinnamon and is also the 2nd country in the export of Anise. Therefore, issues related to comprehensive sustainability in the spice industry are of great concern. Although there have been many discussions and programs about sustainability, in reality this issue has not been fully implemented. The United Nations development goals include Sustainable Development with an inclusive focus. However, 90% of pepper farmers are small-scale, marginal farmers, lack formal education in farming and are aging. Meanwhile, interest among young farmers is waning due to the lack of economic sustainability in pepper growing. In addition, climate changes and rising global temperatures are also posing major challenges, affecting crop productivity. Faced with this reality, farmers are gradually turning their attention to growing coffee, fruits, vegetables and other crops that bring better economic benefits. Therefore, the theme "Comprehensive Sustainability" was chosen for VIPO 2024 to expand the scope of sustainable development, taking farmers as the focus, overcoming the limits of model farms and traditional thinking.
While a lot has been said about sustainability less has been done in terms of Inclusion which is an integral part. The United Nations development goals include Sustainable Development focusing on Inclusion. 90% of Pepper growing farmers are small and marginal farmers with lack of formal education on farming and are getting Old. The interest amongst the young farmers is dwindling due to the lack of economic sustainability of pepper farming. On top of it adverse weather patterns, overall increase in global temperatures, etc are reducing yields. Growers are focusing on Coffee, fruit and vegetables and other more economically rewarding produce. Therefore this year VIPO has chosen the theme of Sustainability with Inclusivity to go beyond model farms, sustainable programs, RA and all such initiatives to widen the realm of sustainability to the farmers beyond the usual reach.
