The typical range is USD 416 - 566 per metric ton FOB, centered at a USD 566 median. Buyers request FOB more often than suppliers offer it - a 10.9 percentage point gap - so buyers must explicitly ask for FOB terms to avoid mismatched quotes.

Freshdi Fresh Lentils suppliers come from 6 countries, led by India at 38.5%, as of 31 October 2026.
Only 13 suppliers are currently listing Fresh Lentils, and none of them have updated a listing in the last 30 days — just two did in the past 90. This means the supply is static, and buyers should treat each supplier as a one-off opportunity rather than a recurring source. With no recent activity, there's little room for negotiation on pricing or lead times, so early outreach is critical. There are 55 live listings for Fresh Lentils, offering a decent range of grades, pack sizes, and origins. While not massive, this volume gives buyers a solid starting point to find a match without needing to start from scratch with a custom request. The presence of so many listings suggests suppliers are maintaining a baseline inventory, even if they're not updating it frequently. Six countries supply Fresh Lentils, with India accounting for 38.5% of the exporters. This spread offers buyers some geographic flexibility, especially if they're looking to avoid over-reliance on a single origin. While India dominates, the other five countries provide viable alternatives for buyers seeking different quality profiles or regulatory advantages.

That gives buyers more names to consider, but the newer ones have less history to evaluate. Check listing history before reaching out to a new supplier.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Fresh Lentils listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 17 October 2026 - 55 active listings, 3 buyer requests, 56 source documents, and 256 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 Fresh 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 Fresh Lentils, 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.
