Top 5 Sunflower Oil RFQs in India

These are live buying requests; quantities and status can shift as buyers close out. Suppliers can unlock buyer details and submit a quotation on Freshdi.

1. Refined Sunflower Oil in Flexi Tank

This request lists an initial 21 MT trial shipment in flexi tank container packaging, with a plan to scale to 2000 MT per month for 12 months if the trial succeeds. The combination of CIF delivery to Vizag and a Letter of Credit payment term means suppliers should quote CIF-inclusive pricing and be prepared to present L/C-compliant documents; the buyer explicitly requests SGS inspection and specification documents. This request names Refined as the refinement level and Vizag delivery under CIF.

2. We are looking for Sunflower oil

This listing requests 4 40-foot containers and specifies CIF to Melbourne Australia. No grade or packaging beyond the container count is named, so suppliers should propose CIF container pricing and clarify oil grade, origin and any certificates. This request names shipment in 40-foot containers and CIF delivery.

3. I'm looking for Refined Sunflower Oil Non-Gmo

This RFQ specifies a large trial of 12,500 MT followed by monthly contract volumes (12500 MT x 11 months), packing in flexi tank, CIF Palermo Port, and a complex documentary payment structure (DLC non-transferable at loading port plus 2% performance bank guarantee). Suppliers must have large-scale export capacity, flexi-tank loading capability, and the ability to comply with documentary DLC terms. This request names Refined Non-GMO and Palermo Port under CIF.

4. Cooking Oil Like Refined Sunflower Oil

This buyer wants 200 tons of Refined Sunflower Oil CIF to Sweden and asks for L/C payment. The request is targeted at suppliers who can provide refined oil for food production and issue L/C-backed shipping documentation. This request names Refined and CIF to Sweden.

5. Sunflower Oil Crude Refined

This RFQ asks for SUNFLOWER OIL Crude and specifies CIF - Pointe-Noire Port in the text but lists FOB and T/T in structured fields; packaging requested is 25 Ltr jerrycans (seller design) and inspection by TPIA at seller cost. Suppliers should clarify whether they can supply crude vs refined, confirm packaging capability for 25 Ltr jerrycans, and be prepared for TPIA inspection. This request names Crude and packaging in 25 Ltr jerrycans.

Which Sunflower Oil Grades and Specifications Buyers Named

Counts overlap when a single RFQ names multiple values (for example, one RFQ names both Refined and Non-GMO). Most-named value: Refined appears in 4 of 5 requests, twice as often as the next distinct product label (Non-GMO or Crude).

If your offering does not include Refined sunflower oil, you will miss the majority of the requests shown and should either add a refined SKU to listings or explicitly state conversion/processing capability when replying.

Technical specs — only some requests list them. Distinct specs tied to RFQs:

• Refined Sunflower Oil in Flexi Tank: Packaging type = Flexi Tank Container; Inspection = SGS Inspection; HS code 151590.
• I'm looking for Refined Sunflower Oil Non-Gmo: Packing = Flexi tank; Non-GMO specification named; CIF Palermo Port.
• Sunflower Oil Crude Refined: Packaging = 25 Ltr JerryCan (seller design); Inspection = TPIA at seller cost; trade term text lists CIF - Pointe-Noire Port while structured field lists FOB.

Matching a buyer's stated figures exactly in your quotation reduces clarification cycles and increases the chance your offer is compared directly to others.

Order Size, Trade Terms & Payment Terms

Order size. All 5 featured RFQs include a quantity figure. Smallest-to-largest figures as given: 21 MT initially (then 2000 MT/month) in Refined Sunflower Oil in Flexi Tank; 200 tons in Cooking Oil Like Refined Sunflower Oil; 4 40-foot containers in We are looking for Sunflower oil; 400 Piece in Sunflower Oil Crude Refined; 12,500 Mt trial then 12,500 Mt x 11 months in I'm looking for Refined Sunflower Oil Non-Gmo. Grouping: sample/trial (21 MT initial; 12,500 MT trial), container-scale (4 x 40ft), bulk contract (12,500 Mt recurring), and packaged retail/consumer (25 Ltr jerrycan requests).

Trade terms. Five RFQs name a trade term: CIF appears in four requests (1,2,3,4) and FOB appears in one (5, noting text conflict for RFQ 5). The majority CIF share implies supplier quotations should include freight and insurance to the named destination to match buyer expectations; quotes on different terms will not be directly comparable.

Payment terms. Four RFQs name a payment term in either structured or customer_data fields: L/C is required in two requests (1 and 4), TT is listed in customer data for one (2 says TT 30 days), DLC non-transferable with 2% PB is requested in one (3), and one RFQ uses T/T (5). One request leaves payment blank in the RFQ structure but customer_data lists payment preferences. Suppliers should expect documentary payment conditions; where payment is not named, propose L/C or a deposit plus balance against shipping documents as a starting term.

FAQ

How do I see full buyer contact for these RFQs?

Full buyer contact details are gated by Freshdi until you unlock a specific RFQ; use the platform's unlock/credit flow to view contact and shipping details for any linked RFQ (for example, Refined Sunflower Oil in Flexi Tank). The RFQ pages show posted data and customer verification status before you unlock.

What does a "verified buyer" badge mean here?

A verified-buyer badge (is_verified_buyer) in customer_data indicates Freshdi has validated some buyer credentials; four of the five featured buyers show that badge. It signals higher platform-level trust but does not alter contractual terms: always verify payment instruments and certificates before shipment.

How current are these RFQs and what happens when a listing closes?

All posting timestamps are included in the RFQ rows; these five were posted in August 2026 and the platform-level snapshot was last updated August 18, 2026. RFQ quantities and status can change as buyers award contracts; Freshdi updates listings when buyers modify or close requests.

Which payment and trade terms should I propose when replying?

Most featured buyers request CIF delivery and many expect documentary payments (L/C or DLC variants). If a buyer leaves payment unspecified, propose a clear documentary option such as L/C at sight or a 30% deposit with balance against shipping documents to make your offer comparable.

Why does the dataset list different packaging and inspection requests across RFQs?

Each RFQ carries buyer-specific packaging or inspection instructions — for example, SGS inspection for Refined Sunflower Oil in Flexi Tank and TPIA at seller cost for Sunflower Oil Crude Refined. Match packaging and inspection exactly in your offer to reduce follow-up questions and demonstrate compliance.
