How stable is this supply base?

Is there much new product?
White Basmati Rice saw 99 new listings in the last 30 days, more than the 71 the month before. New offers are arriving at a faster rate than a month ago, so the catalog a buyer browses today includes more recent prices or pack sizes. Compare the listing dates when evaluating similar offers to ensure the one chosen is recent.
Is the market busy?
42 of the 465 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, mostly long-standing suppliers. The pool includes many sellers with a long listing history, while a smaller number of new entries adds variety. Buyers can choose from a broad range of established names, but the new ones have less history to assess. Review each supplier's listing history before reaching out to a new seller.

A supplier able to quote CIF stands out. FOB runs the other way - 49.3% of listings against 27% of buyer requests, suppliers offer it 22.3 pts more often than buyers ask for it.
T/T is the widest payment gap: 46.9% of buyer requests ask for it, but only 32.2% of listings accept it (657 supply vs 472 demand observations). Most listings still expect L/C (33.4%). Suppliers that accept T/T stand out to these buyers.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from White Basmati Rice listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 3 October 2026 - 1,110 active listings, 297 buyer requests, 434 source documents, and 2,372 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 White Basmati Rice 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 White Basmati Rice, 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.
