Only 18 suppliers are currently active in the Clove Spice category, which means each one is a key player in the market. With such a small pool, buyers can expect personalized attention and deeper engagement—no need to wade through a sea of generic responses. This tight group also means that if one supplier is unavailable, the buyer has fewer options, so vetting each one carefully is essential. There are 26 active listings for Clove Spice, offering a range of grades and packaging options. While not a massive catalog, it's enough to find a close match for most standard requirements without needing to start from scratch. The fact that 7 of 18 suppliers updated their listings in the last 30 days suggests a steady flow of new or revised offerings, meaning the supply is still responsive and current. Clove Spice is sourced from 11 different countries, with Indonesia accounting for 27.8% of the supply. This geographic spread gives buyers flexibility to compare origin-specific qualities—like flavor profile or processing methods—without being locked into a single source. For buyers seeking consistency or regional authenticity, the variety of origins provides a solid foundation for decision-making. Buyer inquiries surged by 1,044.4% to 206 in the last 30 days—this is a dramatic spike in demand. Against a base of just 18 suppliers, such a surge means availability is rapidly depleting, and suppliers are likely being booked up quickly. Buyers should act now to secure supply before the current listings are fully consumed.

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 Spice had 7 new listings in the last 30 days, up from none the month before. The catalog is now active with fresh offers, so buyers see new prices or pack sizes that weren’t available last month. Compare the listing date and current terms when evaluating offers from the same supplier.
Is the market busy?
26 of the 18 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, more than half joined in the last year. The group includes both long-standing and new sellers, which increases the number of options but means some have less history to rely on. Buyers can explore new names, but should verify their consistency in offering before placing a first order. Review each supplier’s listing history before reaching out.

Clove Spice prices on Freshdi range from USD 1,513 to USD 7,950 per metric ton, FOB, with a median of USD 2,909 based on 142 current listings. The wide spread indicates significant variation by quality, origin, or processing, so buyers must evaluate each listing's specific attributes rather than relying on a single average price point.
The typical minimum order quantity for Clove Spice is 6.0 MT, with listings ranging from 1.0 to 22.0 MT. This range allows buyers with small or medium volumes to find viable options, though larger orders may offer better pricing or terms, especially when negotiating with suppliers who accept higher volumes.
FOB is the most commonly used trade term for Clove Spice, appearing in 39.9% of supplier listings on Freshdi. While this is the standard, buyers should verify the exact term with each supplier, as demand for other terms like CIF is higher, creating potential misalignment in shipping and cost expectations.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Clove Spice listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 6 November 2026 - 26 active listings, 12 buyer requests, 97 source documents, and 765 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 Clove Spice 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 Spice, 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.

| CIP | Incoterm | Like CPT, and the seller also insures the goods to the named place. |

Name the Incoterm with a place, and agree it and the payment term in writing before production starts.
| 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.
