188 suppliers are actively offering Coconut Shell on the platform, with 26 updating their listings in the last 30 days and 87 over the past 90. This level of activity shows a steady presence of suppliers, even if the volume of new updates has dipped recently—meaning the market remains accessible and responsive, though not in a high-velocity state. 343 listings are currently active, offering a wide range of sizes, grades, and packaging options. With such depth, buyers can find a close match for their specific needs without having to start from scratch or rely on custom quotes. Suppliers come from 23 countries, with Indonesia accounting for 51.1% of the total. This broad geographic spread means buyers have multiple options beyond Indonesia, which helps reduce reliance on a single source and provides flexibility in terms of origin, logistics, and compliance. Buyer inquiries dropped 93.8% over the last 30 days to just 85—this sharp decline suggests a temporary lull in demand. For buyers, it means now is a good time to act: with fewer inquiries, suppliers may be more open to negotiation and faster to respond to new leads.

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?
Coconut Shell had 41 new listings in the last 30 days, fewer than the 51 the month before. When comparing offers, the listing date helps identify which ones are closer to current market conditions. Check the listing date when evaluating similar offers to ensure you're not relying on outdated data.
Is the market busy?
75 of the 188 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, a large share of newcomers. The category includes both long-standing and newly joined sellers, which increases the number of options available to buyers. Newer suppliers have less history to assess, so their reliability must be evaluated carefully before a first order. Review each supplier's listing history before reaching out to a new seller.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Coconut Shell listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 8 October 2026 - 343 active listings, 63 buyer requests, 53 source documents, and 351 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 Coconut Shell 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 Coconut Shell, 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.
