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?
Unrefined Shea Butter had 16 new listings in the last 30 days, more than the 9 the month before. New offers are arriving at a faster rate than last month, so the catalog a buyer sees today includes more recent prices or pack sizes. Compare the listing date when evaluating offers that look similar.
Is the market busy?
3 of the 69 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, mostly long-standing suppliers. The pool is dominated by sellers with a history of consistent listings, while only a small number are new. Buyers can rely on established sellers' track record, but the small number of new entries limits the range of options. 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 Unrefined Shea Butter listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 28 October 2026 - 101 active listings, 12 buyer requests, 28 source documents, and 220 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 Unrefined Shea Butter 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 Unrefined Shea Butter, 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.
