This shows a steady but slow turnover, meaning suppliers are maintaining presence, but not rapidly refreshing their offerings. For buyers, this suggests a stable but limited pool where each conversation carries more weight and requires careful vetting. There are 27 active listings for Black Charcoal, which is a modest catalog size. While it doesn’t cover every possible grade or packaging variation, it still provides a solid starting point for buyers to find a match without needing to start from scratch or rely solely on custom quotes. Seven countries supply Black Charcoal, with Nigeria accounting for 23.1% of exporters. This geographic spread offers buyers some flexibility in sourcing, allowing them to compare options beyond just Nigeria — especially useful if they're looking for different quality profiles or compliance standards.

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?
Black Charcoal had 5 new listings in the last 30 days, up from none the month before. That means a buyer can find updated terms or pack sizes that weren’t available previously. Compare the listing date when evaluating offers that look similar.
Is the market busy?
5 of the 13 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, a large share of newcomers. The group includes both long-standing and new sellers, which expands the pool of options but means some have less history to assess. A buyer can see a mix of established and new names, but the newer ones require more scrutiny before first orders. 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 Black Charcoal listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 10 October 2026 - 27 active listings, 2 buyer requests, 330 source documents, and 2,377 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 Black Charcoal 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 Black Charcoal, 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.
