Freshdi Market Insight
Make smarter Cavendish Banana sourcing decisions with real market data
India (33.7%) and Vietnam (23.1%) lead the 104 Cavendish Banana suppliers, with South Africa at 6.7%, so buyers have a concentrated origin base with limited alternatives beyond these regions. The typical range is USD 267 - 516 per metric ton FOB, centered at a USD 416 median, meaning price varies widely and quality or origin may influence final offers. Buyer inquiries fell 95.1% to 11 in the last 30 days. FOB is requested far more often than offered — a 14.4 percentage point gap — so buyers must explicitly ask for FOB terms to avoid confusion or rejection.

How stable is this supply base?

Is there much new product?
Cavendish Banana gained 14 new listings in the last 30 days, more than the 8 the month before. New offers are arriving at a faster rate, so the catalog a buyer sees today includes more recent pricing and pack sizes. Compare listing dates when evaluating similar offers to ensure the most up-to-date information is used.
Is the market busy?

The pool includes both sellers with established records and those who are still building their presence. This gives buyers more names to consider, but newer suppliers have less history to assess. Review each supplier's listing history before contacting them for a first order.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Cavendish Banana listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 18 October 2026 - 191 active listings, 32 buyer requests, 78 source documents, and 462 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 Cavendish Banana 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 Cavendish Banana, 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.
