Total export revenue reaching $2.12 billion.

Vietnam’s pepper and spice exports reached a record high of
more than $2.12 billion in 2025, up 20.1% year-on-year, according to the
Vietnam Pepper and Spice Association (VPSA).

Pepper accounted for 78% of the total export value. In 2025,
Vietnam exported more than 246,000 tonnes of pepper, generating $1.66 billion
in revenue. While export volume declined 1.5% compared with the previous year,
export value rose sharply by 26%, driven by higher prices. The average export
price climbed to nearly $6,750 per ton,  up 28.3% from 2024.

Other spice products also made significant contributions to
export earnings. Cinnamon brought in about $300 million, followed by ginger and
turmeric with $61 million, star anise with nearly $59 million, cardamom and
nutmeg with $33 million, and chili with around $10 million.

According to the association, these figures indicate that
Vietnam’s spice export structure is becoming increasingly diversified, helping
to reduce dependence on a single product.
