33 suppliers are actively offering Raw Cotton Fiber, with only 2 updating their listings in the last 30 days — a sign of a stable but slow-moving supply base. This means buyers should treat each supplier as a unique point of contact, as few are actively refreshing their offers, and there's little room for last-minute changes. 123 listings are currently live, covering a range of grades and specifications. While not a massive catalog, it's enough to find a close match for standard requirements, reducing the need to start from scratch with a custom quote. Suppliers come from 14 countries, with Tanzania making up 18.2% of the total. This broad geographic spread gives buyers flexibility to source from different regions, helping to mitigate risks tied to regional supply disruptions or quality variations. Buyer inquiries rose 50% to 3 in the last 30 days — a sharp increase that suggests growing interest in the category. With only 33 suppliers available, this surge could quickly lead to tighter availability, so buyers should act promptly to secure their needs.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Raw Cotton Fiber listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 21 October 2026 - 123 active listings, 8 buyer requests, 24 source documents, and 210 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 Raw Cotton Fiber 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 Raw Cotton Fiber, 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.
