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 Kernel gained 15 new listings in the last 30 days, more than the 8 the month before. That means the selection today includes offers that are closer to today’s market than those from earlier in the month. Compare the listing date when evaluating similar offers to ensure you're not relying on outdated data.
Is the market busy?
87 of the 129 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, more than half joined recently. The supplier pool includes a large number of new sellers alongside established ones, which increases the range of options available. Newer suppliers have less history to show, so buyers must evaluate them carefully before committing. Prioritize suppliers with a longer listing record or start with a new seller using a small trial 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 |

| USMCA | 33 requests | 302 products | 9.2 |
Globally, 302 listings meet 295 requests - 1.0 listings per request, as many listings as requests, so suppliers compete. India sends 102 of those requests (34.6%), and there the same 302 listings make 3.0 listings per request. With listings equal to 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), buyers ask for it 14.9 pts more often than suppliers offer. EXW runs the other way - 10.1% of listings against 0.6% of requests, suppliers offer it 9.5 pts more often than buyers ask for it. A supplier able to quote FOB stands out.

T/T runs the other way - 51.5% of listings against 29.8% of requests, suppliers offer it 21.7 pts more often than buyers ask for it.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Cashew Kernel listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 3 October 2026 - 394 active listings, 32 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 Kernel 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 Kernel, 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.
