Description
Pepper in Indonesia is a smallholder crop, with average farm size of less than a hectare. An estimated 190,000 hectares of pepper are cultivated, mainly in Lampung and Bangka, with some areas in South Sumatra, Kalimantan and Sulawesi becoming important recently. In Lampung black pepper is produced, while in Bangka, because of suitable conditions, the entire production is of white pepper. In Kalimantan and Sulawesi almost 70% of production is black and the remaining white. Lampung and Bangka are main sources recording exports, while pepper from Kalimantan and Sulawesi are channeled to nearby local markets as well as to neighboring countries.

By the latest estimates, including production in Kalimantan, South Sumatra, Sulawesi, etc, Indonesia produced about 86,000 tons (46,500 tons black and 39,500 tons white pepper) and exported over 57,000 tons (33,000 tons black and 24,000 tons white) in 2003. (This is more than our January production estimate of 67,000 tons, which covered only Lampung and South Sumatra - 35,000 tons and Bangka - 32,000 tons. Much of the production of the smaller areas, however does not enter the export market)
Pepper farmers in Indonesia have been hit hard by the current low prices and it is expected that production this year (2004) will be at an all time low. While production in other countries, particularly Vietnam and Brazil, may to some extent offset the fall in production of black pepper, the shortfall in white pepper supply may affect the market more seriously. It is likely that decorticated black pepper will obtain a larger market share as the price of white pepper increases significantly relative to the price of black.
