We are at a critical phase. Read the entire story to get an over all picture.


Bearish signs :
1. Globally most destinations are covered. USA has bought  much more than their average annual demand.
2. Middle east is pharting with pepper and want to sell back to Vietnam.
3. Brazil could not sell as Indonesia robbed them of their sales by reducing prices. Brazilians kept sending videos of decimated trees etc. Weather data does not show such a bad situation. There is an issue no doubt but it was perhaps blown out out of proportion.
4. New Crop 2025 will be better on yield from the perspective thar farmers got more money and they will spend well on farm inputs.


Bullish signs:
1. China has started sniffing in Upcountry Vietnam. Fearing weakening currency they may import ahead of time. Note they are uncovered and pipe line seems to be empty. They will come with a vengeance whenever they do.
2. Area globally is shrinking.
3. Climate change is a reality. Still raining in Vietnam coffee and pepper regions. Coffee crop is delayed and we can say with confidence pepper crop will also be a delayed crop. Usually delayed crops are short crops.
4. Coffee prices continue to rise and this will impact pepper as we have shown earlier that rising coffee can push pepper prices also up.


We have started visiting growing regions and will bring you more updates on the Vietnam crop.

We anticipate cashew kernel prices to increase in the coming weeks due to current market dynamics:

✅ RCN Shortage: The limited availability of raw cashew nuts (RCN) is putting pressure on processing operations, leading to supply constraints.
✅ Tanzanian RCN Prices: Tanzanian raw cashew prices remain elevated and have seen slight increases over the past two weeks, adding to the cost pressures on kernels.

📈 Exploring the Correlation Between Black Pepper and Coffee Prices! ☕

As the global markets keep evolving, understanding correlations between key commodities is essential for effective strategy planning.

Our report analyzes three key hypotheses:

1️⃣ Pepper prices are consistently higher than coffee prices.
2️⃣ Pepper prices typically reach twice the level of coffee prices.
