Tiger Nut drew 1 buyer inquiries on Freshdi in the 30 days to 14 November 2026, unchanged from the previous 30 days.
Only 17 suppliers are currently active in the Tiger Nut category, and just one of them updated a listing in the last 30 days. This suggests a slow pace of activity, meaning buyers should treat each supplier as a unique opportunity rather than a standard option — conversations will likely need to be proactive and well-rehearsed to stand out. There are 55 active listings, which provides a solid base for buyers to find a match with specific packaging, grade, or origin. While not extremely deep, the number is enough to cover common requirements, reducing the need for custom requests and helping buyers find a viable option quickly. Seven countries supply Tiger Nuts, with Tanzania leading at 35.3%. This spread offers buyers flexibility to explore different origins, though Tanzania dominates the market — making it a strong starting point for volume or consistency, while others can be considered for niche or regional preferences. Only one buyer inquiry came in over the last 30 days, no change from the previous period — indicating low current interest. This could mean the market is stable or underdeveloped, so buyers should be cautious about timing their orders and may want to act before demand picks up unexpectedly.

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?
Tiger Nut had 3 new listings in the last 30 days, up from 1 the month before. The number of new offers has increased sharply, so the catalog includes a mix of recent and older entries. Compare the listing date when evaluating two similar offers to see which is more current.
Is the market busy?
6 of the 17 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, a large share of newcomers. The group includes both long-standing sellers and those who have recently joined, which expands the range of options. The newer suppliers have less history to show, so their consistency and reliability are less clear. Review each supplier's listing history before contacting them.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Tiger Nut listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 29 October 2026 - 55 active listings, 6 buyer requests, 38 source documents, and 361 supply observations from the same period. External export benchmarks are cited separately and never mixed into Freshdi figures.
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 Tiger Nut, 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.

| CIP | Incoterm | Like CPT, and the seller also insures the goods to the named place. |
| DAP | Incoterm | The seller delivers to a named place, ready for unloading; import duties are the buyer's. |
| DPU | Incoterm | The seller delivers and unloads the goods at a named place in the destination country. |
| DDP | Incoterm | The seller delivers to the buyer's place and pays import duties and taxes too. |

Name the Incoterm with a place, and agree it and the payment term in writing before production starts.
| Point | What to check | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Incoterm and place | Every quotation names the same Incoterm and port or place. | Prices on FOB and on CIF differ by the freight and the insurance. |
| Specification | The grade, size or composition quoted matches the one asked for. | A lower grade can hide behind a lower price. |
| Quantity and MOQ | The price is for the quantity ordered, above the minimum order. | Unit prices change with the order size. |
| Packaging | Packing type, size and labelling are stated and the same. | Custom packing adds cost. |
| Payment term | The payment term and the deposit asked. | It moves the risk between buyer and seller. |
| Lead time | The production and shipping time to the destination. | A late shipment can cost more than a higher price. |
| Documents | The certificates and export documents included. | Missing papers can block customs. |
| Validity | How long the quoted price holds. | Quotations are often valid for a limited time only. |
Ask every counterpart to quote on the same basis: only then does the lower price win.
