11origins
Freshdi Quinoa suppliers come from 11 countries, led by India at 42.4%, as of 31 October 2026.
Only 33 suppliers are currently listing Quinoa, and none of them have updated their listings in the last 30 days — just 8 did so in the past 90. This means the supply is static, and buyers should expect to engage directly with suppliers who may not be adjusting to new market needs or demand shifts. There are 59 Quinoa listings live right now, which is a modest catalog size. While it covers a range of grades and pack sizes, the lack of recent updates suggests that buyers may need to verify specs directly with suppliers rather than relying on current listings to reflect new availability. Suppliers come from 11 different countries, with India accounting for 42.4% of the supply. This geographic spread offers buyers flexibility in sourcing, especially for those seeking specific regional traits or certifications, though India remains the dominant origin.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Quinoa listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 28 October 2026 - 59 active listings, 9 buyer requests, 32 source documents, and 104 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 Quinoa 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 Quinoa, 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.
