5origins
Freshdi Ashwagandha suppliers come from 5 countries, led by India at 82.6%, as of 14 November 2026.
Only 23 suppliers are currently active in the Ashwagandha category, and just 2 of them updated their listings in the last 30 days — only 3 did over the past 90. This low turnover suggests the market is stable but not dynamic, meaning buyers should treat each supplier as a one-off opportunity rather than a pool of ongoing options. It also means that if a supplier is not actively refreshing their offer, their pricing or availability may be outdated. There are 44 active listings, which is a modest catalog size. While it doesn’t cover every possible form or grade, it still gives buyers a solid starting point to find a match without needing to start from scratch with a custom request. The limited number of listings also implies that suppliers are prioritizing a few key specs, so buyers should focus on matching those clearly. India supplies 82.6% of the active exporters, with four other countries making up the rest. For buyers, this means India is the default and most reliable source — it’s where most of the volume and quality come from. The smaller share of other countries offers a narrow but viable alternative if India’s supply chain or regulations become a concern.

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?
Ashwagandha had 7 new listings in the last 30 days, up from none the month before. That means buyers can find updated options that weren’t available last month. Compare the listing date when evaluating offers with similar specs.
Is the market busy?
2 of the 23 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, mostly long-standing suppliers. The group is dominated by sellers with a history of consistent listings, which makes it easier to assess reliability over time. The small number of new entries limits the variety of fresh sellers to consider. Review each supplier’s listing history before reaching out.

Can these suppliers be trusted?

For a shipment requiring food safety compliance, filtering for ISO22000 helps identify suppliers with that standard. For other needs, ask each shortlisted supplier for the certificate up front.

India sends 6 of those requests (46.2%), and there the same 19 listings make 3.2 listings per request. With more listings than requests, a supplier needs a sharp price or terms to win each request.

DDP is the dominant trade term for Ashwagandha, used in 88.4% of supplier listings on Freshdi.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Ashwagandha listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 6 November 2026 - 44 active listings, 5 buyer requests, 19 source documents, and 71 supply observations from the same 365-day window. 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 Ashwagandha 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 Ashwagandha, 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.

Trade terms and how to compare quotations
A reference for every category: what the usual trade and payment terms mean, and the points to check when you compare quotations.
| Term | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EXW | Incoterm | The buyer collects the goods at the seller's premises and pays every cost from there. |
| FCA | Incoterm | The seller hands the goods, cleared for export, to the buyer's carrier at a named place. |

| CFR | Incoterm | The seller pays sea freight to the destination port; the risk passes once loaded. |
| CIF | Incoterm | Like CFR, and the seller also insures the goods until the destination port. |
| CPT | Incoterm | The seller pays carriage to a named place; the risk passes at the first carrier. |
| CIP | Incoterm | Like CPT, and the seller also insures the goods to the named place. |
| DAP | Incoterm | The seller delivers to a named place, ready for unloading; import duties are the buyer's. |
| DPU | Incoterm | The seller delivers and unloads the goods at a named place in the destination country. |
| DDP | Incoterm | The seller delivers to the buyer's place and pays import duties and taxes too. |

Name the Incoterm with a place, and agree it and the payment term in writing before production starts.
| Point | What to check | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Incoterm and place | Every quotation names the same Incoterm and port or place. | Prices on FOB and on CIF differ by the freight and the insurance. |
| Specification | The grade, size or composition quoted matches the one asked for. | A lower grade can hide behind a lower price. |
| Quantity and MOQ | The price is for the quantity ordered, above the minimum order. | Unit prices change with the order size. |
| Packaging | Packing type, size and labelling are stated and the same. | Custom packing adds cost. |
| Payment term | The payment term and the deposit asked. | It moves the risk between buyer and seller. |
| Lead time | The production and shipping time to the destination. | A late shipment can cost more than a higher price. |
| Documents | The certificates and export documents included. | Missing papers can block customs. |
| Validity | How long the quoted price holds. | Quotations are often valid for a limited time only. |
Ask every counterpart to quote on the same basis: only then does the lower price win.
