219 suppliers are actively offering Honey on the platform, with 22 updating their listings in the last 30 days and 48 over the past 90. This level of activity means buyers can expect a steady flow of new or refreshed offers, especially when suppliers are responsive over time—though the recent drop in inquiries suggests a quieter phase. For buyers, it means there’s still a broad base of suppliers to choose from, even if the market is currently less active. 731 active listings mean a wide variety of grades, types, and packaging options are available at once. A buyer looking for a specific floral origin, processing method, or jar size has a strong chance of finding a match without needing to start from scratch or wait for a custom quote to be created. Suppliers come from 53 countries, with India making up 14.2% of the total. This broad geographic spread gives buyers significant flexibility in sourcing—whether they're looking for organic, raw, or region-specific honeys, there are many origins to compare and evaluate across different climates and traditions. Only 3 buyer inquiries came in over the last 30 days, a 96.8% drop from the previous period—this signals a sharp decline in interest. While it may suggest a temporary slowdown, it also means current suppliers are likely less busy, which could offer buyers better negotiation room or faster response times if they act now.

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?
Honey gained 28 new listings in the last 30 days, more than the 24 the month before. New offers are arriving at a faster rate than last month, so the catalog includes a mix of older and more recent prices and pack sizes. Compare the listing dates when evaluating offers that appear similar.
Is the market busy?
9 of the 219 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, mostly long-standing suppliers. The pool includes a mix of sellers with long histories and a few new entries, which expands the range of options but means new sellers have less track record. Buyers can still rely on established sellers for consistent availability. Review each supplier’s listing history before reaching out.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Honey listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 26 October 2026 - 731 active listings, 53 buyer requests, 57 source documents, and 414 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 Honey 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 Honey, 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.
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.
