Freshdi Market Insight
Make smarter Cashew sourcing decisions with real market data
Vietnam (17%), Nigeria (13.5%), and India (11.2%) lead the 401 Cashew suppliers, with supply spread across 51 countries, so sourcing options are broad but concentrated in a few key regions. The typical range is USD 1,400 - 4,808 per metric ton FOB, centered at a USD 1,909 median, meaning price varies widely and buyers should assess quality and origin carefully. Buyer inquiries fell 47.8% to 167 in the last 30 days. Buyers request FOB more often than suppliers offer it — a 14.9 percentage point gap — so a FOB price must be explicitly asked for.

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?
Cashew gained 65 new listings in the last 30 days, more than the 33 the month before. The catalog is growing rapidly, so the offers available today are newer than those from the prior month. Compare the listing dates when evaluating offers to ensure the one chosen reflects current market conditions.
Is the market busy?
29 of the 401 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, mostly long-standing suppliers. The pool includes a mix of sellers with long histories and a smaller number of newer entries. Buyers have access to a broad range of established names, but the newer ones carry less proven listing consistency. Review each supplier’s history before contacting them for a first order.

| Market | Demand | Supply | Offers/req |
|---|---|---|---|
| Global | 295 requests | 302 products | 1.0 |
| India | 102 requests | 302 products | 3.0 |
| Middle East & North Africa | 49 requests | 302 products | 6.2 |

Globally, 302 listings meet 295 buyer requests - 1.0 listings per request, so listings equal requests and suppliers compete. India sends 102 of those requests (34.6%), and there the same 302 listings make 3.0 listings per request. With more listings than requests, a supplier needs a sharp price or terms to win each request. Quote the global or India figure to match your market - the two are not interchangeable.
FOB is the clearest mismatch: 47.7% of buyer requests ask for it, but only 32.8% of listings offer it (205 supply vs 252 demand observations). EXW runs the other way - 10.1% of listings against 0.6% of requests. A supplier able to quote FOB stands out.
L/C is the widest payment gap: 34.5% of buyer requests ask for it, but only 15% of listings accept it (177 supply vs 214 demand observations). T/T runs the other way - 51.5% of listings against 29.8% of requests. Suppliers that accept L/C stand out to these buyers.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Cashew listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 3 October 2026 - 1,119 active listings, 320 buyer requests, 302 source documents, and 1,024 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 Cashew 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 Cashew, 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 7 days on a rolling 365-day window.
