Buyer inquiries surged 266.3% to 326 in the last 30 days, signaling a sharp rise in demand. This spike suggests that suppliers are being actively sought after, and the volume of interest is growing rapidly—meaning buyers should act quickly to secure supply before it gets fully booked.

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?
Fresh Onion had 35 new listings in the last 30 days, more than the 18 the month before. New offers are arriving at a much faster rate, so the catalog a buyer sees today includes more recent prices and pack sizes. Compare the listing date when evaluating similar offers to ensure they reflect today’s market conditions.
Is the market busy?
76 of the 162 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, a large share of newcomers. Buyers now have access to a mix of long-standing and new sellers, which increases the number of options but means each new name has less history to assess. The established suppliers carry a longer track record, while newer ones need more scrutiny before a first order. Review each supplier’s listing history before contacting them.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Fresh Onion listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 14 November 2026 - 297 active listings, 52 buyer requests, 119 source documents, and 804 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 Onion 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 Onion, 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.

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.
