Chinese Customs: In August dried chili in China imports and exports fell month on month
In August 2023, the total amount of Dried Chili in China was 4,703,774 kg, a decrease of 3.50% from the previous month and an increase of 15.85% compared with 2022. The export amount is 11,7148582 RMB/kg, and the export unit price is 23.29 RMB/kg.
In August 2023, China’s dried pepper exports decreased from July, but the overall extent was not large, and it increased by 15.85% compared with the same period in 2022.
From the perspective of the countries and regions where China exported dried pepper in August 2023, Malaysia exported the most, with a monthly export volume of 1,830,423 kg, followed by Thailand, Mexico, South Korea, the United States, North Korea, Indonesia, Turkey, Singapore, and Japan.
Among them, Malaysia accounted for 40.03%, Thailand accounted for 26.06%, Mexico accounted for 19.10%, South Korea accounted for 4.64%, and the United States accounted for 4.55%.
But Malaysia and Thailand have increased compared with last month, so the overall decline is not large. Among the top three countries, Thailand and Mexico have increased their imports in different amplitude, but Thailand has increased significantly, doubling.
On the whole, the import volume and export volume of dried pepper in August decreased compared with July, and the import volume decreased significantly, mainly because the price of Indian pepper has been relatively high compared with other varieties, and the purchasing merchants have more resistance to high prices, which inhibits consumption. At the same time, affected by the decline in the price of various varieties of chili peppers in China, merchants prefer low-cost supplies.
