The typical range is USD 466 - 875 per metric ton FOB, centered around a USD 526 median, meaning buyers should compare offers carefully across grades and origins.

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 Shortening had 42 new listings in the last 30 days, more than the 28 the month before. New offers are arriving at a faster rate, so the catalog includes more recent prices or pack sizes compared to the prior month. Compare the listing dates when evaluating similar offers to see which one reflects today’s market conditions.
Is the market busy?
Only 1 of the 239 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, so the pool is mostly made up of long-standing sellers. Most suppliers have a history of consistent listings, which makes it easier to assess reliability over time. The small number of new entries limits the variety of fresh options available for a buyer to consider. Review each supplier’s listing history before contacting them for a first order.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Palm Oil Shortening listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 21 October 2026 - 617 active listings, 229 buyer requests, 69 source documents, and 434 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 Shortening 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 Shortening, 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.
