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 Red Lentils gained 55 new listings in the last 30 days, more than the 45 the month before. New offers are arriving at a faster rate than a month ago, so the catalog a buyer browses today includes newer prices or pack sizes. Compare the listing date when evaluating two similar offers to see which one is more current.
Is the market busy?
Only 1 of the 218 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, so the pool is mostly made up of long-standing sellers. The majority of suppliers have a history of consistent listings, which makes it easier to assess their reliability over time. The small number of new entries means a buyer’s shortlist will largely consist of sellers with established records. 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 Fresh Red Lentils listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 30 October 2026 - 666 active listings, 115 buyer requests, 28 source documents, and 155 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 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 Fresh Red 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.
