Is there much new product?
67 new Pepper listings came in over the last 30 days, more than the 55 the month before. The catalog is growing faster than last month, so buyers see a mix of older and newer offers with potentially different pricing or packaging.

Is the market busy?
4 of the 402 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, mostly long-standing suppliers. The pool is dominated by sellers with a long history of listings, which makes it easier to assess consistency in availability and pricing. The small number of new entries means a buyer’s shortlist will mostly include familiar names. Review each supplier’s listing history before reaching out to confirm reliability.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Pepper listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 14 October 2026 - 978 active listings, 113 buyer requests, 48 source documents, and 289 supply observations from the last 90 days. External export benchmarks are cited separately and never mixed into Freshdi figures.
Price and MOQ ranges are the interquartile range - the middle half of quotes, a quarter below and a quarter above - with the median reported alongside. A Pepper type is priced only once it holds at least 5% of supply price quotes and 3 priced listings with a real range; below that it is not listed. Buyer prices are compared only once there are at least 5 of them.
All prices are FOB, in USD per metric ton; quotes on other Incoterms are converted to a FOB equivalent. Freshdi does not hold a CIF price series for Pepper, so no landed-cost comparison is possible from this data.
Product freshness counts listings created or updated. Supplier activity counts sellers by their last update. The two are different measurements and will not agree.
Freshdi reprocesses market data every hour, with one snapshot a day for trends. This page's figures, certification coverage included, refresh every 14 days on a rolling 365-day window.
