Freshdi received 5 buyer inquiries for Castor Oil in the 30 days to 1 November 2026, down 93.1% from the previous 30 days.
34 suppliers are currently active in the Castor Oil category, offering a solid base for buyers to compare terms and certifications. While not a massive pool, it's enough to ensure competitive pricing and a range of quality options, especially when combined with the fact that 4 suppliers updated their listings in the last 30 days — showing some level of ongoing activity and responsiveness. 73 listings are currently live, covering a range of grades and packaging options. This breadth means buyers can find a match for their specific needs without needing to start from scratch or rely on custom quotes, though the turnover suggests suppliers are not consistently refreshing their inventory. Suppliers come from 15 different countries, with India accounting for 35.3% of the total. This geographic diversity gives buyers flexibility in sourcing — whether they're looking for specific origin traits or want to hedge against regional supply disruptions. Only 5 buyer inquiries came in over the last 30 days, a sharp 93.1% drop from the previous period. This decline suggests reduced demand or buyer hesitation, which may mean suppliers are currently underutilized — a window for buyers to secure volume at potentially favorable terms before interest rebounds.

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?
Castor Oil saw 8 new listings in the last 30 days, more than double the 3 from the previous month. New offers are arriving at a much faster rate, so the catalog a buyer sees today includes more recent prices and pack sizes. Compare the listing dates when evaluating offers to ensure the one chosen is recent and relevant.
Is the market busy?
11 of the 34 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, a large share of newcomers. Buyers now have access to both long-standing and new sellers, which expands the pool of potential suppliers. The newer ones have less history to show, so a buyer must assess their consistency and reliability before engaging. Check listing history and start with a small trial order with a new supplier.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Castor Oil listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 17 October 2026 - 73 active listings, 9 buyer requests, 21 source documents, and 126 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 Castor Oil 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 Castor Oil, 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.
