Only 19 suppliers are currently active in the Fresh Watermelon category, and just 2 of them updated a listing in the last 30 days — only 3 did over the past 90.

There are 31 active listings for Fresh Watermelon, which is a modest catalog size. While not vast, it offers enough variety to find a match for standard sizes or ripeness levels, though buyers should verify details closely since new stock isn’t being added frequently.

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 Watermelon had 1 new listing in the last 30 days, compared to 0 the month before. Only a handful of new offers appeared, so the catalog remains largely unchanged from the previous month. That means buyers are seeing the same core set of offers, with little shift in availability or pricing. Check the listing date when comparing offers to confirm which one is more current.
Is the market busy?
5 of the 19 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, a mix of long-standing and new suppliers. The group includes sellers with established records and a few who are still building their presence. That gives buyers a range of options, but the newer ones have less history to assess. 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 Watermelon listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 13 November 2026 - 31 active listings, 4 buyer requests, 9 source documents, and 81 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 Watermelon 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 Watermelon, 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.

| CIF | Incoterm | Like CFR, and the seller also insures the goods until the destination port. |
| CPT | Incoterm | The seller pays carriage to a named place; the risk passes at the first carrier. |
| CIP | Incoterm | Like CPT, and the seller also insures the goods to the named place. |
| DAP | Incoterm | The seller delivers to a named place, ready for unloading; import duties are the buyer's. |
| DPU | Incoterm | The seller delivers and unloads the goods at a named place in the destination country. |

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.
