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?
Clove gained 28 new listings in the last 30 days, more than the 19 the month before. New offers are arriving at a faster rate, so the catalog a buyer sees today includes more recent prices or pack sizes than what was available last month. Compare the listing date when evaluating two similar offers to ensure they reflect today’s market conditions.
Is the market busy?
54 of the 158 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, a large share of newcomers. Buyers now have access to a mix of long-standing and new sellers, which increases the number of options but means each new seller has less history to rely on. The established suppliers offer a consistent record, while new ones require more due diligence before a first order. Check verification and start a new seller with a sample or a small trial order.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Clove listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 6 October 2026 - 231 active listings, 17 buyer requests, 31 source documents, and 196 supply observations from the last 30 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 Clove 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 Clove, 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.
