Only 22 suppliers are currently active in the Plant Oils category, which means each one is likely a key player in the market. While the number is small, the fact that 19 of them updated a listing in the last 90 days shows sustained activity — a sign that suppliers are still engaged and responsive to buyer needs. There are 64 active listings, offering a solid range of options across different types and grades of plant oils. This volume means buyers can find a match for most standard requirements without needing to start from scratch or wait for a new listing to appear. Suppliers come from 14 different countries, providing a broad geographic spread. This diversity means buyers aren’t locked into a single origin and can compare options based on cost, quality, or compliance with regional standards. Buyer inquiries dropped 54.4% over the last 30 days to 227 — a sharp decline that suggests reduced demand or a temporary slowdown in interest.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Plant Oils listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 30 October 2026 - 64 active listings, 5 buyer requests, 19 source documents, and 113 supply observations from the same 365-day window. 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 Plant Oils 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 Plant Oils, 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.

| CIP | Incoterm | Like CPT, and the seller also insures the goods to the named place. |

Name the Incoterm with a place, and agree it and the payment term in writing before production starts.
| Point | What to check | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Incoterm and place | Every quotation names the same Incoterm and port or place. | Prices on FOB and on CIF differ by the freight and the insurance. |
| Specification | The grade, size or composition quoted matches the one asked for. | A lower grade can hide behind a lower price. |
| Quantity and MOQ | The price is for the quantity ordered, above the minimum order. | Unit prices change with the order size. |
| Packaging | Packing type, size and labelling are stated and the same. | Custom packing adds cost. |
| Payment term | The payment term and the deposit asked. | It moves the risk between buyer and seller. |
| Lead time | The production and shipping time to the destination. | A late shipment can cost more than a higher price. |
| Documents | The certificates and export documents included. | Missing papers can block customs. |
| Validity | How long the quoted price holds. | Quotations are often valid for a limited time only. |
Ask every counterpart to quote on the same basis: only then does the lower price win.
