Freshdi Market Insight
Make smarter Sunflower Oil sourcing decisions with real market data
The United States (8.3%), Tanzania (7.7%) and South Africa (7.4%) are among the top supplier countries for 324 Sunflower Oil suppliers, spread across 56 countries, so sourcing options remain broad but concentrated in a few key regions. The typical range is USD 688 - 1,200 per metric ton FOB, centered at a USD 800 median, meaning buyers should expect variation and assess quality and origin carefully. Buyer inquiries fell 72% to 653 in the last 30 days. Buyers frequently request CIF, which suppliers rarely offer — a 26.2 percentage point gap — so a CIF price must be explicitly asked for.

324 suppliers are currently active in the Sunflower Oil category, offering a broad range of options for buyers. While the U.S. leads with just 8.3% of the supply, the wide distribution across 56 countries means buyers have global reach and can compare sourcing options based on logistics, compliance, or regional preferences. 1,488 listings are live, indicating a deep and active catalog where buyers can find a wide variety of grades, packaging sizes, and certifications. This volume suggests suppliers are consistently updating their offerings, with 36 of them refreshing their listings in the last 30 days, which means the supply remains responsive and current.

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?
Sunflower Oil had 42 new listings in the last 30 days, less than half the 85 seen the month before. The flow of new offers has dropped sharply. Check the listing date when evaluating two similar offers to see which one is closer to today’s market.
Is the market busy?
109 of the 324 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, a large share of newcomers. The category includes both long-standing sellers and a growing number of new entrants, which expands the pool of potential suppliers. However, the new sellers have less history to show for their consistency in offering updates. Review each supplier’s listing history before reaching out to assess reliability.

CIF is the most commonly used trade term for Sunflower Oil, cited in 40.3% of supplier listings on Freshdi. While it's popular, buyers should verify that the term aligns with their logistics and cost expectations, as it shifts responsibility for freight and insurance to the buyer. This term is not universally offered, so matching buyer demand with supplier capability is essential for smooth procurement.

It's the default expectation when requesting a quote, though buyers must confirm the exact terms with each supplier before finalizing a deal. This term is widely accepted, but its prevalence does not eliminate the need for due diligence on payment security and risk mitigation.
91.0% of the 324 Sunflower Oil suppliers on Freshdi are verified, totaling 295 verified accounts.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Sunflower Oil listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 12 October 2026 - 1,488 active listings, 465 buyer requests, 144 source documents, and 1,116 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 Sunflower Oil 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 Sunflower Oil, 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.
