Freshdi Market Insight
Make smarter Areca Nut sourcing decisions with real market data
Indonesia (55.6%) leads the 27 Areca Nut suppliers, with Vietnam (14.8%) and India (11.1%) following, so sourcing from outside Indonesia is less common and may require more negotiation. The typical range is USD 1,720 - 1,800 per metric ton FOB, centered at a USD 1,800 median, meaning most offers cluster closely around that price point.

8origins
Freshdi Areca Nut suppliers come from 8 countries, led by Indonesia at 55.6%, as of 1 November 2026.
27 suppliers are currently active in the Areca Nut category, with only 2 updating their listings in the last 30 days — just 5% of the total have refreshed content in the past 90 days. This suggests a slow turnover in supply, meaning buyers should treat each supplier as a potential long-term partner rather than a temporary option. A lack of recent updates means pricing and availability may be outdated, so direct communication is key to confirming current terms. Just 29 listings are live, which is a small catalog for a category this niche. That means buyers are unlikely to find a perfect match without contacting suppliers directly — especially if they need specific packaging, grading, or certifications. The low number of listings also implies that suppliers treat this category as a secondary offering, not a core business line. Eight countries supply Areca Nuts, with Indonesia accounting for 55.6% of exporters. This gives buyers a broad base to choose from, but Indonesia dominates so heavily that it's the most logical starting point for sourcing. The remaining seven countries offer alternatives for buyers seeking regional variety or to reduce dependency on a single origin.

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?
Areca Nut had 2 new listings in the last 30 days, up from 1 the month before, only a handful of new listings in either month. The catalog is growing slowly, so the current offers are mostly from the same group of sellers. That means buyers see a steady but limited flow of new options, and older listings remain in the mix. Compare listing dates when evaluating offers that are otherwise similar.
Is the market busy?
11 of the 27 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, a large share of newcomers. The pool includes both long-standing sellers and those who have recently joined, which expands the range of options. The newer suppliers have less history to show, so their consistency and reliability are harder to assess. Review each supplier's listing history before contacting them for the first time.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Areca Nut listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 21 October 2026 - 29 active listings, 6 buyer requests, 39 source documents, and 261 supply observations from the same period. 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 Areca Nut 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 Areca Nut, 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.
