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?
Ceylon Cinnamon had 11 new listings in the last 30 days, more than the 7 the month before. New offers are arriving at a faster rate, so the catalog a buyer sees today includes more recent prices or pack sizes. Compare the listing date when evaluating two similar offers to ensure they reflect today’s market conditions.
Is the market busy?
18 of the 49 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, a large share of newcomers. The category includes both long-standing and new sellers, which expands the range of options available. A buyer can explore new names alongside established ones, but the newer suppliers have less history to assess. Review each supplier’s listing history before initiating contact with a new seller.

Ceylon Cinnamon listings on Freshdi have a median price of USD 2,809 per metric ton, FOB, based on 130 current listings. The price range spans from USD 1,912 to USD 4,508, indicating a significant spread that reflects differences in quality, origin, and form, so buyers must assess each listing carefully before making a decision.
The typical minimum order quantity for Ceylon Cinnamon is 1.0 MT, with listings ranging from 1.0 to 5.0 MT. This low minimum makes it accessible for small-volume buyers, allowing flexibility in sourcing without needing large upfront commitments.

It is the default expectation when requesting a quote, though buyers should confirm the specific terms with each supplier to ensure alignment with their own financial and risk management policies.

Cassia has the highest median price at USD 6,700 per metric ton, while powder is the lowest at USD 2,311, and stick has the most listings at 38.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Ceylon Cinnamon listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 12 November 2026 - 107 active listings, 6 buyer requests, 113 source documents, and 713 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 Ceylon Cinnamon 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 Ceylon Cinnamon, 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.

| Validity | How long the quoted price holds. | Quotations are often valid for a limited time only. |
Ask every counterpart to quote on the same basis: only then does the lower price win.
