218 suppliers are actively offering Honey on the platform, with 23 of them updating their listings in the last 30 days. This shows a steady level of engagement—suppliers are not just static, but actively refining their offerings, which means buyers can expect current, accurate details on quality, packaging, and sourcing. With such a broad base, buyers have multiple options to compare and negotiate terms without being locked into a single supplier. 730 active listings mean a wide range of Honey grades, flavors, and packaging options are available at once. A buyer can find a match for specific needs—like organic certification or regional origin—without having to start from scratch or wait for a custom quote to be created. Honey is sourced from 53 countries, with India contributing 14.2% of the supply. This geographic diversity gives buyers flexibility to explore different regional profiles, from floral varieties to processing methods, and reduces reliance on any one origin for quality or availability. Only 28 buyer inquiries came in over the last 30 days, a sharp 92.6% drop from the previous period. This suggests current demand is low, which could mean suppliers are underutilized or buyers are taking a pause—offering a rare window to secure volume at competitive pricing before demand rebounds.

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?
Honey gained 32 new listings in the last 30 days, more than the 25 the month before. That means a buyer sees a mix of older and newer offers, which can affect the comparison of price or availability. Compare listing dates when evaluating similar offers to see which one is closer to today’s market.
Is the market busy?
49 of the 218 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, a mix of long-standing and new suppliers. Buyers have access to both established sellers with proven records and newer ones building their presence. The new suppliers bring fresh options, but their history is shorter, so buyers need to assess their consistency before committing. Review each supplier’s listing history before reaching out to a new seller.

| Market | Demand | Supply | Offers/req |
|---|---|---|---|
| Global | 312 requests | 63 products | 0.2 |
| USMCA | 116 requests | 63 products | 0.5 |
| United States | 105 requests | 63 products | 0.6 |
| Middle East & North Africa | 37 requests | 63 products | 1.7 |
| Gulf Cooperation Council | 34 requests | 63 products | 1.9 |
Worldwide, 63 listings meet 312 buyer requests - 0.2 listings per request, so buyers compete for the listings on offer. The USMCA sends 116 of those requests (37.2%), and there the same 63 listings make 0.5 listings per request. With fewer listings than requests, suppliers can be selective about which requests they answer.
CIP is the clearest mismatch: 6.5% of buyer requests ask for it, yet no current listing offers it (130 demand vs 101 supply observations). EXW runs the other way - 9.3% of listings against 3.2% of requests. A supplier able to quote CIP faces no competition on that term today.
T/T is the widest payment gap: more than half of buyer requests (78%) ask for it, but only 57.5% of listings accept it (75 demand vs 122 supply observations). L/C runs the other way - 18.9% of listings against 4.2% of requests. Suppliers that accept T/T stand out to these buyers.
Buyers ask for Chinese origin in 4 requests with no Chinese listings yet - an opening for Chinese suppliers - while India's 13 listings against 5 requests give buyers choice, and Turkey's 1 listing against 4 requests shows buyers are actively seeking that origin.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Honey listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 18 October 2026 - 730 active listings, 49 buyer requests, 63 source documents, and 428 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 Honey 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 Honey, 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.
