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?
Banana gained 55 new listings in the last 30 days, more than the 41 the month before. New offers are arriving at a faster rate than last month, so the catalog a buyer browses today includes more recent prices or pack sizes. Compare the listing dates when evaluating offers that appear similar.
Is the market busy?
25 of the 338 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, mostly long-standing suppliers. The pool includes many sellers with a history of consistent listings, while a smaller number of new entries add variety. Buyers can access a broad range of established names, but the new ones have less history to assess. Review each supplier's listing history before contacting them.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Banana listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 21 October 2026 - 634 active listings, 84 buyer requests, 70 source documents, and 459 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 Banana 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 Banana, so no landed-cost comparison is possible from this data.
Demand-versus-supply differences in trade and payment term shares are stated in percentage points, and origin rows add buyer requests per listing. Each figure carries its market scope - global - beside the number rather than in a footnote.
Product freshness counts listings created or updated. Supplier activity counts sellers by their last update. The two are different measurements and will not agree.
