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?
Food Grade Glycerin had 46 new listings in the last 30 days, more than the 36 the month before. New offers are arriving at a higher rate than a month ago, so the catalog a buyer sees today includes more recent prices or pack sizes. Compare the listing date when evaluating offers that appear similar in price or specifications.
Is the market busy?
Only 1 of the 168 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, so the pool is mostly made up of long-standing sellers. Buyers here interact with a stable group of suppliers who have a consistent history of listing, which makes it easier to assess reliability over time. The small number of new entries limits the variety of fresh perspectives or new pricing models. Review each supplier's listing history before reaching out to a new one.

A majority of suppliers—82 of 168—list a certificate, and HALAL is the most common, held by 14 of them. For a shipment requiring HALAL certification, filtering for that standard helps narrow the list to suppliers who meet it. For other requirements, ask each shortlisted supplier for the certificate before placing an order.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Food Grade Glycerin listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 21 October 2026 - 769 active listings, 76 buyer requests, 19 source documents, and 88 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 Food Grade Glycerin 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 Food Grade Glycerin, 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.
