Black Pepper

Vietnamese Black Pepper is one of Vietnam’s major agricultural export spices. Raw materials are mainly sourced from major pepper-growing areas such as Dak Lak, Gia Lai, Dak Nong, and other regions in the Central Highlands.

According to TCVN 7036:2008, black pepper is the dried fruit with the outer skin intact of the Piper nigrum L. plant. Whole black peppercorns generally have a diameter of approximately 3–6 mm and are classified based on physical, chemical, and microbiological characteristics.

Vilifa supplies Vietnamese Black Pepper for export according to requirements for bulk density, quality, packaging, and destination market.

Black Pepper Grades

Depending on the buyer’s specification, black pepper can be classified according to bulk density and other quality parameters.

Common specifications include:

• Black Pepper 500 g/L
• Black Pepper 550 g/L
• Higher bulk density black pepper according to requirements
• Cleaned and graded black pepper
• Other specifications according to market requirements

Bulk density is an important parameter used to evaluate and classify black pepper quality. TCVN 7036:2008 specifies different minimum bulk density levels according to quality grades.
