156 suppliers are actively listing Beef on the platform, with 19 updating their listings in the last 30 days and 50 over the past 90. This shows a steady level of engagement, meaning suppliers are responsive and regularly refreshing their offerings—important for buyers who need current pricing, lead times, or quality updates. A large supplier base also means more options to compare terms, certifications, and logistics without relying on just one source. 1,406 active listings are currently available, covering a wide range of cuts, grades, and packaging options. This depth means buyers can find a close match to their specific needs—whether it's for retail, foodservice, or processing—without having to start from scratch with a custom request. The high volume also suggests suppliers treat Beef as a core product, not a side offering. 44 countries supply Beef on the platform, offering broad geographic reach. This diversity means buyers can source from regions with specific quality profiles, climate advantages, or regulatory benefits—such as grass-fed or organic options—without being limited to a single origin. It also provides flexibility in managing supply chain risks or import regulations.

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?
Beef gained 27 new listings in the last 30 days, more than the 23 the month before. New offers are arriving at a faster rate than last month, so the catalog a buyer sees today includes more recent pricing or pack sizes. Compare the listing date when evaluating two similar offers to see which is closer to today’s market.
Is the market busy?
7 of the 156 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, mostly long-standing suppliers. The pool is dominated by sellers with a history of consistent listings, which makes it easier to assess reliability over time. Fewer new names mean a buyer’s shortlist will largely consist of suppliers already known for steady performance. Review each supplier’s listing history before reaching out.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Beef listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 13 October 2026 - 1,406 active listings, 112 buyer requests, 478 source documents, and 2,462 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 Beef 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 Beef, 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.
