The estimated production of the top five IPC members last year were Vietnam (130,000 tonnes), Indonesia (71,500 tonnes), India (65,000 tonnes), Brazil (41,500 tonnes) and Malaysia (28,000 tonnes).
China, a non-IPC member, produced some 29,000 tonnes, mostly white pepper,last year for domestic consumption.
China is importing pepper mainly from Vietnam to supplement its expanding domestic consumption.
“Cambodia, a new producer, is coming up very fast with an estimated output of 11,000 tonnes in 2015,” said Grunsin.
