43 suppliers are actively offering Arabic Gum on the platform, with 4 of them updating their listings in the last 30 days and 16 over the past 90. This shows a steady, though slow, level of engagement—meaning suppliers are maintaining presence, even if not frequently. For buyers, that suggests a stable base of options to work with, though not a high turnover of new or refreshed offers. There are 68 active listings, which provides a solid range of options across different grades and specifications. While not a massive catalog, it's enough that a buyer can find a close match without needing to start from scratch or rely solely on direct outreach. Suppliers come from 17 countries, with Kenya contributing 14.0% of the total. This broad geographic spread offers buyers flexibility in sourcing, allowing them to compare regional differences in quality, price, or processing methods without being locked into a single origin. Only 2 buyer inquiries came in over the last 30 days, a drop of 98.4% compared to the previous period. This sharp decline suggests low current interest, which may mean suppliers are not actively responding to new requests or that demand is temporarily low—offering a window to secure supply at potentially favorable terms.

How stable is this supply base?
Three separate questions, answered in order: is the product fresh, is the market busy, and can the sellers be trusted.
Is there much new product?
Arabic Gum took in 6 new listings in the last 30 days, the same as the month before. The catalog is refreshing at a steady pace, so newer and older offers sit side by side. That gives a buyer a regular flow of new offers to weigh against the established ones. Check the listing date when comparing two similar offers.
Is the market busy?
12 of the 43 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, a mix of long-standing and new suppliers. The pool mixes sellers with a long listing record and sellers who are still building one. That gives buyers more names to choose from, but the newer ones need a closer look before a first order. Check verification and start a new seller with a sample or a small trial order.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Arabic Gum listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 9 October 2026 - 68 active listings, 13 buyer requests, 52 source documents, and 178 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 Arabic Gum 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 Arabic Gum, 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.
