Freshdi Market Insight
Know the Dried Cloves market before you buy
Indonesia (39.2%) leads Dried Cloves supply with 51 suppliers across 19 countries, followed by Tanzania at 15.7%, and Germany at 3.9%, meaning most supply comes from a narrow set of origins. The typical range is USD 1,912 - 8,600 per metric ton FOB, centered around a USD 4,105 median, so price varies widely and must be evaluated by origin and quality. Buyer inquiries surged 975% to 86 in the last 30 days. Buyers request CIF more often than suppliers offer it — a 21.7 percentage point gap — so a CIF price must be explicitly asked for.

51 suppliers are actively offering Dried Cloves, with 13 of them updating their listings in the last 30 days. This shows a dynamic and responsive supplier base — buyers can expect fresh pricing, availability, and specifications, which means deals are less likely to be stale or outdated. The active turnover also signals that suppliers treat this category as a priority, not a side hustle. 99 listings are currently live, covering a range of grades, pack sizes, and origin details. This depth means buyers can quickly find a match for their specific needs — whether it's for spice blends, industrial use, or traditional formulations — without having to start from scratch with a custom request. Suppliers come from 19 countries, with Indonesia accounting for 39.2% of the total. That broad geographic spread gives buyers flexibility to choose based on cost, quality, or compliance — Indonesia is a strong starting point, but the other 18 countries offer viable alternatives for diversifying supply chains or mitigating regional risks. Buyer inquiries surged 975% over the last 30 days to reach 86 — a dramatic spike in demand. This suggests a strong market shift, possibly due to new applications or seasonal demand, and means suppliers are likely under pressure to fulfill orders quickly. Buyers should act now to secure supply before the market gets oversaturated.

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?
Dried Cloves had 14 new listings in the last 30 days, more than the 9 the month before. New offers are arriving at a faster rate than a month ago, so the catalog a buyer sees today includes more recent prices or pack sizes. Compare the listing dates when evaluating offers that look similar.
Is the market busy?
21 of the 51 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, a large share of newcomers. Buyers here meet a mix of long-standing and new sellers, which expands the pool of options but means newer names have less history to assess. Review each supplier's listing history before reaching out.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Dried Cloves listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 12 November 2026 - 99 active listings, 21 buyer requests, 100 source documents, and 800 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 Dried Cloves 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 Dried Cloves, 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.

Trade terms and how to compare quotations
A reference for every category: what the usual trade and payment terms mean, and the points to check when you compare quotations.
| Term | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EXW | Incoterm | The buyer collects the goods at the seller's premises and pays every cost from there. |
| FCA | Incoterm | The seller hands the goods, cleared for export, to the buyer's carrier at a named place. |

| CFR | Incoterm | The seller pays sea freight to the destination port; the risk passes once loaded. |
| CIF | Incoterm | Like CFR, and the seller also insures the goods until the destination port. |
| CPT | Incoterm | The seller pays carriage to a named place; the risk passes at the first carrier. |
| CIP | Incoterm | Like CPT, and the seller also insures the goods to the named place. |
| DAP | Incoterm | The seller delivers to a named place, ready for unloading; import duties are the buyer's. |
| DPU | Incoterm | The seller delivers and unloads the goods at a named place in the destination country. |
| DDP | Incoterm | The seller delivers to the buyer's place and pays import duties and taxes too. |
| FAS | Incoterm | The seller places the goods alongside the vessel at the port of loading. |

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.
