Here the Kampot is a bit more expensive. What's the price difference between Vietnamese and Kampot where you are?

 

Any comparison is going to be somewhat meaningless. 

 

It depends on the grade you buy. Also, I live an hour away from Vietnam whereas Cambodia is considerably further. Then we look at 'favourable nation status'. Vietnam has a strong trading links with China; Cambodia  almost none.

Then there is scale. Vietnam is the largest producing nation of all. Cambodia is way down the list.

 

But for an example, I usually buy Vietnamese for around ¥69 / $9.58 USD per 500g. Those Cambodian peppers are ¥134 / $18.60 for 100g.

 

Approximately 1/10
