47 suppliers are actively offering Millet on the platform, with 3 updating their listings in the last 30 days and 4 over the past 90. This shows a steady, though slow, level of engagement—buyers can expect consistent availability, but updates are not frequent, meaning it's wise to reach out early to suppliers before their details become outdated. There are 114 active listings for Millet, offering a broad range of grades, pack sizes, and origins. This depth means buyers can find a match for most standard requirements without needing to start from scratch or rely on custom quotes. Millet is supplied by 17 countries, with India leading at 51.1%. This wide geographic spread gives buyers flexibility to source based on cost, certification, or regional preferences, reducing reliance on any single origin and offering options to hedge against supply disruptions. Only 1 buyer inquiry came in over the last 30 days, a 94.1% drop from the previous period. This sharp decline suggests low current interest, which may reflect a temporary lull in demand—buyers should act quickly to secure supply before interest rebounds and competition increases.

How stable is this supply base?

Is there much new product?
Millet gained 2 new listings in the last 30 days, after zero the month before. Only a handful of new offers have appeared, so the catalog remains largely unchanged from the previous month. That means buyers see mostly the same offers, with only a small number of updates to consider. Check the listing date when comparing offers to see which one is closer to today’s market.
Is the market busy?
3 of the 47 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, mostly long-standing ones. The group is dominated by sellers with a history of consistent listings, which makes it easier to assess reliability over time. Review each supplier’s listing history before reaching out.

CIF is the most commonly used trade term for Millet, appearing in 60.8% of supplier listings on Freshdi.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Millet listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 20 October 2026 - 114 active listings, 15 buyer requests, 67 source documents, and 704 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 Millet 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 Millet, 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.
