Make smarter Cashew Nut sourcing decisions with real market data

239 suppliers are actively exporting Cashew Nuts on the platform, offering a broad range of options for buyers to compare. With 29 of them updating their listings in the last 30 days, the market shows steady activity—meaning suppliers are responsive and likely maintaining current inventory levels, which helps buyers stay informed about availability and pricing changes. 653 active listings are currently live, covering a wide variety of grades, pack sizes, and origins. This depth ensures that even niche or specific requirements—like organic certification or a particular moisture level—are likely to be met without needing to start from scratch with a custom request. Suppliers come from 38 countries, giving buyers a wide geographic spread to choose from.

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 Nut gained 42 new listings in the last 30 days, more than double the 16 from the previous month. Compare the listing dates when evaluating offers that are otherwise similar.
Is the market busy?
122 of the 239 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, more than half. The category includes a mix of long-standing and new sellers, which expands the pool of options but means buyers must assess each new seller’s history. The established ones have a longer track record, while newcomers have less to show for their consistency. Review each supplier’s listing history before reaching out.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Cashew Nut listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 3 October 2026 - 653 active listings, 60 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 Nut 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 Nut, 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.
