This combination—certification plus flexibag packaging—signals a buyer set up to handle bulk flexitank or flexibag deliveries into a European port (Hamburg) under CIF.

cooking oil such as sunflower oil and vegetable oil. asks for 1 twentyfoot container of retail-ready packs (Sunflower 1.8 L and Vegetable Oil 18 L) for resale, CIF to an India destination and payment by bank transfer.

5. Cooking Oil Like Olive Oil

Which Edible Oils Grades and Specifications Buyers Named

Five distinct grade/product values are named across the five RFQs below; several requests include packaging details or certification. The counts below reflect only values explicitly named in RFQ fields, attributes, or descriptions.

Counts overlap: both Palm Oil CP 10 and Palm Oil CP 8 are palm-oil requests, so "palm" appears in 2 of 5 requests overall.

Most-named value: Palm oil (appears in 2 of 5 requests), 2 times as often as the next most-named individual product values.

If a supplier does not list a named grade (for example CP 8 or CP 10) on their offering, they are less likely to match searches or initial buyer filters for those RFQs; adding clear grade/spec labels increases discoverability.

Technical specifications (only some requests provide this level of detail):

• Used Cooking Oil — requests ISCC certification and Flexibag packaging.
• cooking oil, such as palm oil. — specifies 18 Liter Tins and CP 8 color/spec.
• cooking oil such as sunflower oil and vegetable oil. — specifies retail pack sizes Sunflower 1.8 L and Vegetable Oil 18 L.

Matching a buyer's stated figures exactly in a quotation reduces clarification back-and-forth and increases the chance your offer will be shortlisted.

Order Size, Trade Terms & Payment Terms

Order size. All 5 RFQs include a quantity figure. Smallest-to-largest as given: multiple 1 twentyfoot container requests (Used Cooking Oil, cooking oil such as sunflower oil and vegetable oil., cooking oil, such as palm oil., Cooking Oil Like Olive Oil) and one very large listing at 100000 tons Monthly (cooking oil, like palm oil with CP 10.). Figures with different units are not summed or averaged here.

Practical order-size segments:

• Large-volume / contract (100000 tons Monthly): cooking oil, like palm oil with CP 10. — requires industrial export capacity and contract terms.
• Container-sized commercial/resale (1 twentyfoot container): Used Cooking Oil, cooking oil such as sunflower oil and vegetable oil., cooking oil, such as palm oil., Cooking Oil Like Olive Oil — requires ready-to-ship container stock or consolidation capability.

Trade terms. 5 RFQs name a trade term; all 5 list CIF. A CIF quotation should therefore include freight and insurance to the named destination port to match buyer expectations. A quote offered on a different Incoterm will not be directly comparable to CIF offers the buyer receives.

Payment terms. 5 RFQs name a payment term. Breakdown: SBLC MT760 & LC MT700 (1: Used Cooking Oil), L/C (3: CP 10 palm, palm CP 8, olive-like), Bank Transfer (1: sunflower/vegetable). None of the five leave payment entirely unspecified. If a buyer does not name detailed terms, propose L/C at sight or a deposit plus balance against shipping documents as a starting position; here most buyers already prefer L/C or equivalent bank-secured instruments.

→ Action: add CIF pricing and an L/C payment option to your listing so you appear in the majority of these buyer searches and can respond immediately.

FAQ

1. How do I see full buyer contact details for these RFQs?
   You must unlock each RFQ on Freshdi to view full buyer contact details and send a quotation; the platform gates contact info behind an unlock so suppliers can verify buyer intent before sharing sensitive commercial terms.
2. Are these RFQs still active and how long do they stay open?
   These entries were posted between August 7–14, 2026 and are current as of August 21, 2026. RFQ status and available quantity can change if a buyer closes or awards a deal; Freshdi updates listings when buyers modify or cancel requests, so check the RFQ page for live status before quoting.
3. What does a verified-buyer badge mean here?
   A verified-buyer badge indicates Freshdi has confirmed at least some buyer contact/phone verification; in this sample all five buyer entries show is_verified_buyer = 1. Verification means the buyer passed Freshdi's initial checks but does not replace your own due diligence on payment and contract terms.
4. Given most RFQs use CIF and L/C, what should I include in my first quotation?
   Match the majority pattern where possible: a CIF price to the named port, estimated freight and insurance, expected packing (18 L tins, flexibag, retail bottles as listed), and your preferred L/C terms (e.g., L/C at sight). If you cannot comply with CIF or L/C, state the alternative clearly and explain what costs or delivery points differ.
5. How many of these requests will my product listing match?
   This batch includes five distinct product forms; if your listing names a specific grade (for example CP 8 or CP 10) you will directly match the corresponding RFQ(s). Suppliers offering multiple grades or packaging options match more requests; use clear grade labels to improve discoverability.
6. How do I submit a quotation and what happens next?
   Create a tailored CIF + payment-term quotation that references the RFQ title exactly, attach required certificates (for example ISCC if relevant), and submit via Freshdi after unlocking the buyer details.
