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?
Dark Couverture Chocolate had 3 new listings in the last 30 days, up from 1 the month before. The number of new offers is rising, but only a handful, so the catalog remains mostly unchanged from the previous month. Compare the listing date when evaluating two similar offers to see which is closer to current market conditions.
Is the market busy?
No suppliers joined in the last 12 months, so all sellers have been on the platform for at least a year. The group is stable and built on long-standing listings, which makes it easier to assess each seller’s consistency. There are no new names to consider, so a buyer’s shortlist will be limited to sellers already known and proven. Review each supplier’s listing history before reaching out.

For other requirements, ask each shortlisted supplier for the certificate up front.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Dark Couverture Chocolate listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 28 October 2026 - 71 active listings, 1 buyer request, 1,384 source documents, and 10,232 supply observations from the same 365-day window. 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 Dark Couverture Chocolate 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 Dark Couverture Chocolate, 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.
