How stable is this supply base?

Is there much new product?
Whole Black Pepper gained 50 new listings in the last 30 days, more than the 31 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. Compare listing dates when evaluating similar offers to identify which ones are closer to today’s market.
Is the market busy?
15 of the 270 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 most buyers will be familiar with the existing suppliers. Review each supplier’s listing history before reaching out to a new one.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Whole Black Pepper listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 6 October 2026 - 682 active listings, 72 buyer requests, 37 source documents, and 236 supply observations from the last 30 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 Black Pepper 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 Black Pepper, 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.
