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?
Whole Beans gained 23 new listings in the last 30 days, more than the 14 the month before. New offers are arriving at a faster rate, so the catalog includes more recent prices or pack sizes. Compare the listing date when evaluating two similar offers to ensure they reflect today’s market conditions.
Is the market busy?
3 of the 78 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, mostly long-standing suppliers. The pool is dominated by sellers with a history of consistent listings, which makes it easier to assess reliability over time. The small number of new entries means a buyer’s shortlist will mostly include familiar names. Review each supplier’s listing history before reaching out to confirm consistency.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Whole Beans listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 29 October 2026 - 233 active listings, 11 buyer requests, 82 source documents, and 511 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 Whole Beans 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 Whole Beans, 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.
