Freshdi Market Insight
Make smarter Cinnamon sourcing decisions with real market data
Indonesia (27.4%), Sri Lanka (24.5%) and Vietnam (16.6%) lead the 241 Cinnamon suppliers across 30 countries, with no single origin dominating the rest. The typical range is USD 1,912 - 4,508 per metric ton FOB, centered at a USD 2,809 median, meaning price varies widely and quality or origin may influence final offers. Buyer inquiries increased 80% to 27 in the last 30 days. Buyers request CIF more often than suppliers offer it — a 22.4 percentage point gap — so a CIF price must be explicitly asked for.

The typical minimum order quantity for Cinnamon is 1.0 MT, with a range from 1.0 to 5.0 MT across current listings. Buyers can source in small volumes, making it accessible for startups or small-scale operations, though larger orders may yield better pricing due to volume discounts not always reflected in the base MOQ.
FOB is the most commonly used trade term for Cinnamon, cited in 38% of supplier listings on Freshdi. While it's the default, buyers should verify the exact term with each supplier, as demand for other terms like CIF and CFR is growing, creating potential misalignment in shipping and cost expectations.

Cassia has the highest median price at USD 6,700 per metric ton, while powder is the lowest at USD 2,311, with stick having the most listings at 38.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Cinnamon listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 12 November 2026 - 496 active listings, 82 buyer requests, 113 source documents, and 713 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 Cinnamon 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 Cinnamon, so no landed-cost comparison is possible from this data.
Demand-versus-supply differences in trade and payment term shares are stated in percentage points, and origin rows add buyer requests per listing. Each figure carries its market scope - global - beside the number rather than in a footnote.
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.

| Point | What to check | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Incoterm and place | Every quotation names the same Incoterm and port or place. | Prices on FOB and on CIF differ by the freight and the insurance. |
| Specification | The grade, size or composition quoted matches the one asked for. | A lower grade can hide behind a lower price. |
| Quantity and MOQ | The price is for the quantity ordered, above the minimum order. | Unit prices change with the order size. |
| Packaging | Packing type, size and labelling are stated and the same. | Custom packing adds cost. |
| Payment term | The payment term and the deposit asked. | It moves the risk between buyer and seller. |
| Lead time | The production and shipping time to the destination. | A late shipment can cost more than a higher price. |
| Documents | The certificates and export documents included. | Missing papers can block customs. |
| Validity | How long the quoted price holds. | Quotations are often valid for a limited time only. |
Ask every counterpart to quote on the same basis: only then does the lower price win.
