Only 21 suppliers are currently active in the Cacao Powder category, which means each one is a key player in the market. With such a small number of exporters, buyers can expect personalized attention and deeper engagement—each conversation carries more weight and opportunity for negotiation rather than being lost in a crowd. Just 31 listings are live, indicating a limited range of available grades, pack sizes, or processing methods. While this means buyers may need to customize their requests, it also suggests that suppliers are focused on quality and specificity, not volume—making it easier to find a match that aligns with exact specifications. Suppliers come from 16 different countries, offering a broad geographic spread. This diversity means buyers aren’t locked into a single origin and can compare options based on quality, certification, or regional characteristics—providing flexibility even in a niche category with limited volume. Buyer inquiries dropped 94.8% over the last 30 days, down to just 3—this is a sharp decline in interest. While it may suggest a temporary slowdown, the fact that 2 of 21 suppliers updated their listings in the past 30 days shows some activity is still happening, which could signal a rebound if demand picks up again.

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?
Cacao Powder had 2 new listings in the last 30 days, fewer than the 3 from the previous month. The catalog is not growing quickly, so the offers available today are mostly from the same pool as last month. Compare the listing date when evaluating two similar offers to see which is closer to current market conditions.
Is the market busy?
5 of the 21 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, a mix of long-standing and new suppliers. The group includes sellers with established records and a few who are still building their presence. This gives buyers a range of options, but the newer ones have less history to assess. Review each supplier's listing history before reaching out to a new seller.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Cacao Powder listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 9 October 2026 - 31 active listings, 75 source documents, 520 supply observations from the last 90 days, and 0 buyer requests. 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 Cacao Powder 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 Cacao Powder, 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.
