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?
Cane Sugar had 19 new listings in the last 30 days, more than double the 8 seen the month before. New offers are arriving at a much faster rate, so the catalog a buyer sees today includes a larger share of recent entries. Compare listing dates when evaluating offers that look similar.
Is the market busy?
12 of the 77 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, a mix of long-standing and new sellers. The pool includes both established names with consistent history and newer entries building their presence. The mix gives buyers more names to consider, but the newer ones have less track record to assess. Review each supplier’s listing history before contacting them.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Cane Sugar listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 19 October 2026 - 302 active listings, 46 buyer requests, 194 source documents, and 1,645 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 Cane Sugar 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 Cane Sugar, 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.
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.
