21 suppliers are actively offering Cheddar Cheese on the platform, a solid number that ensures buyers have multiple options to compare pricing, quality, and lead times. While not a massive pool, this count still provides enough competition to keep quotes fair and avoid being locked into a single supplier’s terms. 89 listings are currently active, offering a broad range of variations in age, fat content, and packaging. This depth means buyers can find a specific type of Cheddar without needing to start from scratch with a custom request, saving time and reducing the risk of misalignment. Suppliers come from 16 different countries, giving buyers a wide geographic range to choose from. This diversity means sourcing isn’t limited to one region—buyers can evaluate options based on origin, regulatory standards, or shipping logistics to find the best fit for their operations. Only 4 buyer inquiries came in over the last 30 days, a 55.6% drop from the previous month. This sharp decline suggests reduced interest at the moment, which could mean lower competition and faster response times from suppliers—offering a window to secure a deal before demand picks up again.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Cheddar Cheese listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 26 October 2026 - 89 active listings, 6 buyer requests, 189 source documents, and 1,426 supply observations from the same period. 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 Cheddar Cheese 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 Cheddar Cheese, 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.
