Freshdi received 1 buyer inquiries for Chicory in the 30 days to 2 November 2026, down 50% from the previous 30 days.
Only 11 suppliers are currently active in the Chicory category, with all of them based in India — 90.9% of the total. This concentration means buyers are relying on a single, dominant source for supply, which can create dependency but also simplifies sourcing decisions. While it limits geographic diversity, it also means buyers can expect consistent quality and terms from a well-established base. There are just 14 active listings, which is a small but focused catalog. For buyers with specific grades or packaging needs, this means a match may not be readily available — a direct contact with a supplier is likely the most efficient path to fulfillment. All suppliers are from India, with no representation from other countries. This means sourcing Chicory here is inherently tied to India’s production and export capabilities, offering no alternative origins for buyers seeking diversification or risk mitigation. Only 1 buyer inquiry came in over the last 30 days, a 50% drop from the previous month — a sign of reduced demand or interest. With such a small supplier base, this decline could quickly impact availability, so buyers should act promptly if they're planning to place an order.
Freshdi recorded 3 buyer requests for Chicory globally in the 365 days to 2 November 2026.

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?
Chicory had 1 new listing in the last 30 days, compared to 0 the month before. Only a handful of new listings appear each month, so the catalog remains largely unchanged from the previous period. That means buyers see the same core offers repeating, with little variation in price or pack size over time. Check the listing date when comparing offers to confirm which one is more recent.
Is the market busy?
1 of the 11 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, so most are long-standing. The group is dominated by sellers with a history of consistent listings, which makes it easier to assess reliability over time. Review each supplier's listing history before reaching out.

Can these suppliers be trusted?
8 of 11 suppliers are verified, more than half, so check the badge before contacting. 8 of 11 list a certificate, and ISO22000 is held by 2 of them, making up 25.0% of those with a certificate. For a shipment requiring food safety compliance, filtering for ISO22000 helps narrow the list to suppliers who meet that standard. Ask each shortlisted supplier for the certificate up front if the requirement isn't already clear.
