73 suppliers are actively offering Soybean Meal on the platform, creating a competitive pool where buyers can compare pricing, certifications, and delivery terms. While not the largest category in terms of supplier count, this number still provides meaningful choice—enough to avoid being locked into a single supplier’s terms and allows for negotiation without fear of losing access to the market. 264 listings are currently active, covering a range of grades, packaging sizes, and specifications. This breadth means buyers can find a close match for their needs without having to start from scratch or rely on custom quotes, especially when looking for standard applications in animal feed or agriculture. Suppliers come from 23 countries, offering broad geographic diversity. This wide reach gives buyers flexibility to source based on trade regulations, logistics, or supply chain resilience—making it easier to find alternatives if one region faces disruptions or changes in export policies. Buyer inquiries dropped 85.1% over the last 30 days to just 43, indicating a sharp decline in demand. This sudden drop suggests a buyer should act quickly—suppliers may be under pressure to fulfill current orders, and the reduced interest could mean tighter availability or longer lead times if not addressed soon.

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 Meal had 15 new listings in the last 30 days, more than double the 6 from the previous month. New offers are arriving at a much faster rate, so the catalog a buyer sees today includes more recent pricing and pack sizes. Compare listing dates when evaluating offers to ensure the most up-to-date information is chosen.
Is the market busy?
31 of the 73 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, a large share of newcomers. Buyers now have access to a mix of long-standing and new sellers, which increases the number of options but means less historical data is available for newer ones. The established suppliers have a longer track record, while new entries must be evaluated carefully before first orders. Check verification and start a new seller with a sample or a small trial order.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Soybean Meal listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 14 October 2026 - 264 active listings, 84 buyer requests, 34 source documents, and 337 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 Meal 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 Meal, 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.
