Freshdi received 138 buyer inquiries for Soybean in the 30 days to 15 October 2026, down 81.3% from the previous 30 days.
246 suppliers are actively offering Soybean on the platform, which creates a competitive environment where buyers can compare pricing, lead times, and certifications. The fact that 35 of them updated their listings in the last 30 days shows ongoing activity—suppliers are still refining their offers, which means new or revised terms may be available to buyers who act quickly. 991 active listings mean a wide range of options exist across different grades, pack sizes, and origins. This depth makes it easier for buyers to find a match without needing to start from scratch or rely on custom quotes, especially when they have specific quality or compliance requirements. Soybean suppliers come from 46 countries, offering broad geographic diversity. This wide reach means buyers can source from multiple regions to mitigate risks related to trade policies, harvest variability, or supply chain disruptions—giving them flexibility to find the most reliable and cost-effective options. Buyer inquiries dropped 81.3% to just 138 in the last 30 days, signaling a sharp decline in interest. This could mean reduced demand or a temporary slowdown in procurement, which may create opportunities for buyers to secure better pricing or terms before activity rebounds.

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?
Soybean gained 58 new listings in the last 30 days, more than double the 25 seen the month before. The catalog is growing quickly, so the offers available today are not the same as those from last month. Compare the listing dates when evaluating offers that appear similar.
Is the market busy?
65 of the 246 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, a mix of long-standing and new suppliers. Buyers now have access to both established sellers with proven records and newer ones who are still building their presence. The mix expands the pool of options, but new suppliers have less history to evaluate. Review each supplier’s listing history before contacting them for the first time.

Soybean prices on Freshdi range from USD 217 to USD 445 per metric ton, FOB, with a median of USD 237 based on 45 current listings.

CIF is the most commonly used trade term for Soybean, appearing in 63.1% of supplier listings on Freshdi.

T/T is the most widely used payment term for Soybean suppliers, adopted by 67.8% of them on Freshdi. While common, this term is not universally preferred by all buyers, especially those seeking more secure or bank-backed arrangements, so buyers should confirm the exact terms with each supplier before proceeding.

Additionally, a 45.7-point gap exists in payment terms between buyer demand for L/C and supplier supply, indicating a significant disconnect that could impact transaction speed and security.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Soybean listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 14 October 2026 - 991 active listings, 290 buyer requests, 76 source documents, and 373 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 Soybean 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 Soybean, 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.
