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 Seeds had 1 new listing in the last 30 days, fewer than the 2 the month before. The catalog is not growing, so the offers available today are mostly from the same pool as last month. That means buyers see similar products with little change in price or pack size over time. Check the listing date when comparing two offers that appear nearly identical.
Is the market busy?
No suppliers joined in the last 12 months, so all sellers have been on the platform for a long time. The pool is stable and built on consistent listing history, which makes it easier to assess each supplier’s reliability over time. The lack of new entries means buyers are limited to sellers with existing records. Review each supplier’s listing history before reaching out.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Chia Seeds listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 24 October 2026 - 110 active listings, 18 buyer requests, 72 source documents, and 615 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 Chia Seeds 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 Seeds, 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.
