203 suppliers are actively offering Chili on the platform, with 23 of them updating their listings in the last 30 days. This shows a steady level of engagement — suppliers are not just posting once and leaving, but actively refreshing their inventory, which means buyers can expect current pricing, availability, and specs. That kind of turnover helps ensure the information a buyer sees is up-to-date and reliable. 327 active listings mean there’s a broad range of chili types, pack sizes, and grades available at once. A buyer can quickly find a match for their specific use case — whether it’s for seasoning, processing, or retail — without having to start from scratch or wait for a custom quote to be issued. Suppliers come from 45 countries, with India accounting for 29.1% of the total. This wide geographic spread gives buyers flexibility to source based on origin, quality profile, or compliance needs — for example, choosing a chili with specific heat levels or regional flavor notes that are more common in certain regions. Only 3 buyer inquiries came in over the last 30 days, a sharp 87.5% drop from the previous month. This suggests current demand is low, which could mean suppliers are not receiving much interest right now — a buyer might find better terms or faster response times by acting now before the market reactivates.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Chili listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 15 October 2026 - 327 active listings, 47 buyer requests, 103 source documents, and 579 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 Chili 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 Chili, 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.
