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 Seed had 8 new listings in the last 30 days, fewer than the 9 from the previous month. When comparing similar offers, the listing date helps identify which one is closer to current market conditions. Check the listing date when evaluating two offers that appear alike.
Is the market busy?
5 of the 63 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, mostly long-standing ones. The group is dominated by sellers with established listing histories, which makes it easier to assess consistency in availability and pricing. The smaller number of new suppliers means the shortlist will largely consist of known names. Review each supplier's listing history before reaching out.

Can these suppliers be trusted?
53 of 63 suppliers are verified, at least three in four, so buyers can contact several verified suppliers at once. A majority of suppliers list a certificate, and HALAL is the most common, held by 5 of the 29 that list one. For a shipment requiring HALAL certification, filtering for that standard helps narrow the list to suppliers who meet it. For other requirements, ask each shortlisted supplier for the certificate up front.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Black Seed listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 29 October 2026 - 101 active listings, 15 buyer requests, 12 source documents, and 69 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 Black 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 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.
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.
