Freshdi Market Insight
Make smarter Turmeric sourcing decisions with real market data
India (64.3%) leads Turmeric supply with 347 suppliers across 34 countries, while Indonesia and Vietnam hold 13.5% and 2.3% respectively, making sourcing from outside India less common. The typical range is USD 416 - 3,160 per metric ton FOB, centered at a USD 2,250 median. Buyer inquiries fell 76.9% to 179 in the last 30 days. Buyers request CIF more often than suppliers offer it — a 12.7 percentage point gap — so a CIF price must be explicitly asked for.

347 suppliers are actively offering Turmeric on the platform, creating a broad pool from which buyers can choose. This level of supplier activity means there’s strong competition on pricing and terms, giving buyers more leverage to negotiate favorable conditions without relying on a single source. 573 active listings are currently available, covering a wide range of grades, pack sizes, and processing types. With such depth, buyers are likely to find a close match to their specifications without needing to start from scratch or wait for a custom quote. Suppliers come from 34 countries, with India accounting for 64.3% of the total. This wide geographic spread means buyers have access to diverse origins, which can be key for sourcing specific quality profiles or meeting regional compliance needs, while still having a strong base in India for volume and reliability. Buyer inquiries dropped 76.9% to just 179 in the last 30 days, signaling a significant slowdown in demand. This sharp decline suggests the market may be cooling off, which could mean better pricing or availability for buyers who act quickly before interest rebounds.

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?
Turmeric saw 63 new listings in the last 30 days, more than the 36 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 than what was available a month ago. Compare the listing dates when evaluating offers to identify which ones are closer to current market conditions.
Is the market busy?
106 of the 347 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 also means each new supplier has less history to rely on. The established ones offer a consistent record, while new entries require more due diligence before a first order. 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 Turmeric listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 28 October 2026 - 573 active listings, 82 buyer requests, 138 source documents, and 914 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 Turmeric 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 Turmeric, 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.
