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 Seed gained 55 new listings in the last 30 days, more than the 40 the month before. New offers are arriving at a faster rate, so the catalog a buyer sees today includes more recent prices or pack sizes. Compare the listing dates when evaluating similar offers to ensure they reflect today’s market conditions.
Is the market busy?
20 of the 73 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, a mix of long-standing and new suppliers. The pool includes both sellers with established records and those who are still building their presence. This gives buyers more names to consider, but newer sellers have less history to evaluate. Review each supplier’s listing history before contacting them for the first time.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Sunflower Seed listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 17 October 2026 - 202 active listings, 23 buyer requests, 36 source documents, and 227 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 Seed 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 Seed, 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.
