For a supplier this signals that India-side demand on Freshdi right now favors CIF deliveries and that many buyers are requesting shipment-arranged quotations (insuring freight and transit). At a high level buyers name container shipments and large bulk lots, and some specify packaging (bags) or organic / non-GMO attributes; full specification details follow in the RFQ-level section below.

These are live buying requests; quantities or status can shift as buyers close out.
Suppliers can unlock buyer details and submit a quotation on Freshdi.
1. Maize
Maize requests 1 twentyfoot container for cattle feed and specifies CIF with payment by L/C. This combination (container quantity + CIF + L/C) implies the buyer expects the supplier to price freight and insurance to Ho Chi Minh and to present standard export documentation for a letter of credit. This request names the shipment size precisely; the buyer’s instruction to provide the best offer and negotiable price suggests room for suppliers to propose packing options or origin.
This request names no grade or certificates.
2. Maize Grain
Maize Grain requests 1000 Tons, lists Organic in attributes, and specifies CIF to Nhava Sheva / Mumbai with payment D/P. This is a bulk, bagged (50kg pp) order where organic certification will be relevant; suppliers should include origin declarations (the RFQ lists Brazil, Ukraine, India, Argentina as acceptable origins) and bag-level packaging details in their offer. This request names Organic and Bag packaging explicitly.
This request is phone-verified on the buyer side (is_verified = 1).
3. White Maize
White Maize requests 25,000 kilograms for human consumption, CIF to India, with payment terms to be discussed. The buyer opens price negotiation and expects suppliers to propose quality standards for food-grade maize; a supplier should include microbial and physical test results and a proposed payment schedule. This request names White Maize and CIF delivery.
4. Maize
Maize lists a large annual requirement (shown as 200000 MT in the current RFQ data) and states Type - Yellow Corn plus GMO-status values (360 Non Gmo, 265 Gmo), with destination "shangai" and trade term FOB. This listing appears to be aimed at a long-term supplier relationship or program supply; suppliers responding should clarify whether the FOB basis is per-port origin and confirm capacity for multi-thousand-ton exports. This request names Yellow Corn and provides specific GMO-status figures in attributes.
5. Yellow Maize
Yellow Maize requests 1 twentyfoot container with explicit specs (Moisture max 14%, Purity min 99%, Broken max 2%, Foreign Matter max 1%, Starch Content max 80%). The combination of container-sized ordering and tight purity and moisture limits indicates a buyer focused on high-grade physical specs; suppliers should include lab certificates and pre-shipment inspection options. This request names those specification thresholds directly.

Which Maize Grades and Specifications Buyers Named
The featured RFQs do name specific grades, product forms and technical specs in several entries; the table below counts distinct values that appear at least once in the RFQ attributes or descriptions.
| No. | Grade or product | Number Of Requests Match |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Yellow Maize / Yellow Corn | 3 |
| 2 | White Maize | 1 |
| 3 | Organic | 1 |
| 4 | Maize Grain (bagged) | 1 |
Note: counts overlap where a single RFQ names more than one attribute (for example bagged and organic in the same request).
The single most-named value is Yellow Maize / Yellow Corn, which appears in 3 of the 5 requests, and appears roughly 1.5 times as often as the next most-named distinct product (White Maize). If your current listing does not expose Yellow Maize explicitly, you should add that variant to your product page so buyers searching by that term find your offers.
Technical specifications (only some requests carry them):
- Yellow Maize: Moisture maximum 14%; Purity minimum 99%; Broken maximum 2%; Foreign Matter maximum 1%; Starch Content maximum 80%.
- Maize Grain: Packaging size 50kg pp bags; Delivery form: Bag; Features: Organic.
- Maize: Attributes list GMO status values "360 Non Gmo, 265 Gmo".
Matching a buyer’s stated figures exactly in your quotation reduces back-and-forth and increases the chance your offer will be shortlisted.
Order Size, Trade Terms & Payment Terms
Order size. All five featured RFQs include a quantity figure. Stated sizes range from sample/container orders (1 twentyfoot container in Maize and Yellow Maize) to medium bulk (25,000 kilograms in White Maize) to large program volumes (1000 Tons in Maize Grain) and very large MT figures (200000 MT in Maize). Grouping: sample/container orders: RFQs 1 and 5; medium-lot buyers: RFQ 3; bulk program: RFQ 2; large program/annual: RFQ 4. Responding to container/sample orders requires fast turnaround and small-lot packing options; bulk program offers require proof of export capacity and long-term logistics plans.
Trade terms. Five RFQs name a trade term: CIF is named in four of the five featured requests and FOB is named in one (Maize). The prevalence of CIF implies suppliers quoting for these requests should include freight and insurance to the named destination to be directly comparable with the majority of offers; quoting on a different Incoterm without clear conversion will make offers harder for buyers to compare.
Payment terms. All five RFQs include a payment instruction: L/C (or LC) appears in multiple RFQs (Maize, Yellow Maize), D/P appears in Maize Grain, T/T appears in Maize, and one buyer wants terms "to be discussed" (White Maize). None of the featured RFQs lack payment terms entirely; nevertheless when a buyer leaves terms open it is an opportunity to propose a balanced term such as L/C at sight or a 30% deposit + balance against documents.
→ Add CIF pricing and L/C-acceptable payment options to your listing so term-filtering buyers encounter your offers.
Which RFQs Best Match Your Supply Capability?
Container/sample orders
Includes Maize and Yellow Maize. Why: both request one twenty-foot container. What you need: container stuffing options, CNF/CIF costing, proof of packing/inspection, and fast lead time for a single-container shipment.
Medium food-grade and human consumption orders
Includes White Maize. Why: 25,000 kilograms for human consumption with CIF. What you need: food-grade test reports, traceability, and willingness to negotiate payment scheduling.
Bulk / program supply with certification needs
Includes Maize Grain. Why: 1000 Tons, labeled Organic and bagged. What you need: organic certification, bagged-packaging capacity (50kg pp), and documentary readiness for D/P terms.
Very large-volume/annual program
Includes Maize. Why: very large MT figure and GMO-status noted. What you need: sustained export capacity, ability to provide origin and GMO documentation, and capacity to negotiate FOB vs CIF terms.
FAQ
How can I see full buyer contact details for these Maize RFQs?
Full buyer contact details are gated on Freshdi. Suppliers must unlock each RFQ to view contact information and submit an official quotation; the table above links each RFQ to its Freshdi request page where the unlock process is handled.
What does a verified buyer badge mean for these listings?
A verified buyer flag in the RFQ data indicates Freshdi has completed document-level or account verification steps for that buyer; it does not guarantee payment performance but signals that the buyer completed identity or document checks on the platform. Where trust_star is present, it shows the platform rating assigned to the buyer profile.
If a request names CIF, should I quote CIF or can I quote FOB instead?
Quote the term the buyer requested (CIF) if you want your offer to be directly comparable to other suppliers’ offers. Quoting on FOB when the buyer asked CIF will require the buyer to convert or request a revised quotation, which can reduce your competitiveness.
How precise do my product specifications need to be when replying?
Match the buyer’s stated specs exactly where possible. Several requests list moisture, purity, packaging, or organic status; including test certificates and identical packaging details reduces negotiation time and increases the chance of selection.
How long are these Maize RFQs likely to remain active and how do I submit a quotation?
RFQ posted dates are shown in the table; buyers can close requests at any time. To submit a quotation you must unlock the buyer on Freshdi, prepare documentation matching the stated trade and payment terms, and send a formal offer through the platform.
