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 Chia Seed had 15 new listings in the last 30 days, more than double the 6 from the previous month. Compare the listing date when evaluating offers to see which ones are most current.
Is the market busy?
4 of the 100 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, mostly long-standing ones. The pool includes sellers with a long history of consistent listings, while only a small number are new. The established names have a proven track record, but the small number of new entries limits the range of options for a buyer. 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 Black Chia Seed listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 7 October 2026 - 203 active listings, 15 buyer requests, 48 source documents, and 342 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 Chia Seed 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 Chia Seed, 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.
