Freshdi received 6 buyer inquiries for Pigeon Pea in the 30 days to 31 October 2026, down 90.6% from the previous 30 days.
Only 15 suppliers are currently active in the Pigeon Pea category, and just 3 of them updated their listings in the last 30 days — though 9 did within the last 90. This suggests a stable but slow-moving supply base, where buyers should expect limited freshness in new offers and may need to engage directly with suppliers to confirm current availability or terms. There are 15 active listings, matching the number of suppliers — meaning each supplier has a single listing. This narrow catalog implies buyers are likely to find only one version of the product, so specificity in requirements is key to avoid mismatches. Six countries supply Pigeon Pea, with India accounting for 40.0% of the exporters. While India dominates, the presence of five other countries offers buyers some geographic flexibility, especially for those seeking different processing methods or regional quality profiles. Buyer inquiries dropped 90.6% over the last 30 days — a sharp decline that suggests reduced interest in the category. This could mean suppliers are under less pressure to respond, or that buyers are pausing due to supply uncertainty, making now a potentially low-competition time to act.
Freshdi recorded 11 buyer requests for Pigeon Pea globally in the 365 days to 31 October 2026.

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?
Pigeon Pea had 2 new listings in the last 30 days, less than half the number from the previous month. When comparing similar offers, the listing date helps identify which one is closer to current market conditions. Check the listing date when evaluating two offers that appear similar.
Is the market busy?
9 of the 15 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, more than half of the total. The group includes both long-standing and newer sellers, which broadens the selection but means newer ones have less history to evaluate. Buyers can explore a wider range of options, but must assess each new supplier's consistency before engaging. Review each supplier's listing history before reaching out.

Can these suppliers be trusted?
12 of 15 suppliers are verified, at least three in four, so buyers can contact several verified suppliers at once. 8 of 15 list a certificate, so a portion of the sellers have formal compliance documentation.
What are the selling conditions, and where do the two sides disagree?
Part A reads the supply side on its own terms — price, trade term, MOQ, origin. Part B puts buyer demand next to it and measures the gaps in percentage points.
