50 suppliers are actively offering Chia Seed on the platform, which provides a solid base for comparison without being overwhelming. With a consistent number of suppliers updating their listings—6 in the last 30 days and 14 over the past 90—there’s a steady flow of fresh information, meaning buyers can expect reliable, current details on quality, pricing, and availability. 104 active listings mean a wide range of options exist across different grades, packaging sizes, and certifications. This depth allows buyers to quickly find a match for their specific needs without having to start from scratch or rely solely on custom quotes. Suppliers come from 20 countries, with India accounting for 32.0% of the supply. This broad geographic spread gives buyers flexibility to source based on cost, origin, or compliance needs, and reduces reliance on any single region for supply continuity. Buyer inquiries dropped 95% in the last 30 days, which suggests a temporary slowdown in demand. While this may mean fewer competing buyers, it could also indicate that suppliers are currently underutilized—offering a rare window to secure volume or negotiate better terms before demand 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?
Chia Seed had 2 new listings in the last 30 days, up from 1 the month before. Only a handful of new offers appeared, so the catalog remains largely unchanged from the previous month. That means buyers see mostly the same products, with only minor updates in price or pack size. Check the listing date when comparing two offers that look similar.
Is the market busy?
25 of the 50 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, more than half of the total. The group includes both long-standing sellers and newer ones, which expands the range of options available. Newer suppliers have less history to evaluate, so buyers must look closely at their listing consistency. Review each supplier's history before contacting them for a first order.

Can these suppliers be trusted?
46 of 50 suppliers are verified, at least three in four, so buyers can reach out to several verified sellers at once. A majority of suppliers list a certificate, 31 of 50, and HALAL is the most common, held by 5 of them. For a shipment requiring HALAL certification, filtering for that standard helps narrow the list to suppliers who meet it. For other requirements, ask each shortlisted supplier for the certificate before placing an order.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Chia Seed listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 16 October 2026 - 104 active listings, 6 buyer requests, 34 source documents, and 203 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 Chia Seed 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 Chia Seed, 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.
