Dried Split Red Lentils suppliers on Freshdi are spread over 12 countries, led by South Africa at 17.4%, as of 14 November 2026.
Only 23 suppliers are currently active in the Dried Split Red Lentils category, and just one of them updated a listing in the last 30 days — though three did in the past 90. This suggests a slow turnover in supply, meaning buyers should treat each supplier as a potential long-term partner rather than a one-off option. The limited activity means pricing and availability may be less dynamic, so early engagement is key. There are 49 active listings for Dried Split Red Lentils, offering a range of pack sizes and grades. While not a massive catalog, it’s enough to find a close match for most standard requirements without needing to start from scratch with a custom quote. The presence of these listings indicates that suppliers are maintaining visibility, even if updates are infrequent. Suppliers come from 12 different countries, with South Africa contributing 17.4% of the total. This geographic spread gives buyers flexibility to compare sourcing options across regions, which can be useful for evaluating quality, lead times, or compliance with specific import regulations. It also reduces reliance on any single origin, offering more resilience in supply chains.

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 Split Red Lentils had 1 new listing in the last 30 days, the same as the month before. The catalog is refreshing at a steady pace, so newer and older offers sit side by side. That gives a buyer a regular flow of new offers to weigh against the established ones. Check the listing date when comparing two similar offers.
Is the market busy?
1 of the 23 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, so the pool is mostly made up of long-standing sellers. Their listing history is already on the platform, which makes it easier to see how consistently each one keeps offers up to date. The flip side is fewer new names, so a shortlist will largely be sellers buyers already know. 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 Split Red Lentils listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 8 November 2026 - 49 active listings, 22 buyer requests, 11 source documents, and 55 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 Split Red Lentils 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 Split Red Lentils, 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.

| 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.
