Freshdi Market Insight
Make smarter Palm Oil sourcing decisions with real market data
Nigeria (18.2%), Indonesia (13.4%), and South Africa (6.1%) are the top supplier countries among 231 Palm Oil suppliers across 45 countries, with no single origin dominating the base. The typical range is USD 500 - 900 per metric ton FOB, centered at a USD 800 median. Buyer inquiries fell 85.4% to 191 in the last 30 days. Buyers request CIF more often than suppliers offer it — a 28.3 percentage point gap — so a CIF price must be explicitly asked for.

231 suppliers are actively offering Palm Oil on the platform, creating a broad pool from which buyers can choose. While the number is substantial, 31 of them updated their listings in the last 30 days — a sign of active engagement — meaning supply is still responsive and not frozen in time. This level of activity suggests buyers can still negotiate terms and find suppliers who are current on pricing and availability. 593 listings are currently live, covering a wide range of grades, processing types, and packaging. With such depth, buyers can find a close match for their specific needs without having to start from scratch or rely on custom quotes. The volume also implies that suppliers treat this category as a priority, regularly refreshing their offerings to stay visible. Suppliers come from 45 countries, offering a broad geographic spread. This diversity means buyers aren’t locked into a single region’s supply chain, which helps mitigate risks related to trade policies, harvest cycles, or regional disruptions. For those needing flexibility in origin or compliance, the wide range of sourcing options provides real alternatives. Buyer inquiries dropped 85.4% to just 191 in the last 30 days — a sharp decline compared to the previous period. This sudden drop suggests reduced demand or market uncertainty, which could mean suppliers are currently under pressure or buyers are waiting to act. For those planning to source, now may be a window to secure volume 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?
Palm Oil gained 31 new listings in the last 30 days, more than the 24 the month before. New offers are arriving at a faster rate than last month, so the catalog a buyer sees today includes more recent pricing and pack sizes. Compare listing dates when evaluating offers to ensure the most recent ones are considered.
Is the market busy?
70 of the 231 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 expands the pool of potential suppliers. The newer ones have less history to assess, so their reliability depends on other factors like verification and past performance. Review each supplier’s listing history before initiating contact.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Palm Oil listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 13 October 2026 - 593 active listings, 199 buyer requests, 86 source documents, and 529 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 Palm Oil 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 Palm Oil, 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.
