Boba suppliers on Freshdi are spread over 5 countries, led by Taiwan at 30.0%, as of 16 November 2026.
Only 10 suppliers are currently listing Boba on the platform, and none of them have updated a listing in the last 30 days — just two did in the past 90. This means the supply is static, and buyers should expect to engage directly with each supplier, as there’s little to no new inventory or pricing movement to explore. There are 20 listings live at the moment, which is a modest catalog for a growing category. While it covers a range of flavors and packaging, the lack of recent updates suggests buyers may need to reach out to suppliers directly to confirm availability or specifications. Suppliers come from five countries, with Taiwan making up 30% of the total — a notable but not dominant share. This gives buyers a few regional options, though Taiwan remains the most represented, meaning it's the most likely origin for a standard boba order.

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?
Boba gained 6 new listings in the last 30 days, up from none the month before. That means a buyer can find updated options that weren’t available last month. Compare the listing date with older entries when evaluating similar offers.
Is the market busy?
0 of the 10 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, so all are long-standing. The pool is stable and built on existing sellers with established listing histories. That makes it easier to assess a supplier’s consistency, but limits the chance to meet new names. Review each supplier’s listing history before reaching out.

Trade terms and how to compare quotations
A reference for every category: what the usual trade and payment terms mean, and the points to check when you compare quotations.
| Term | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EXW | Incoterm | The buyer collects the goods at the seller's premises and pays every cost from there. |
| FCA | Incoterm | The seller hands the goods, cleared for export, to the buyer's carrier at a named place. |
| FOB | Incoterm | The seller loads the goods on the vessel at the port of loading; freight is the buyer's. |
| CFR | Incoterm | The seller pays sea freight to the destination port; the risk passes once loaded. |
| CIF | Incoterm | Like CFR, and the seller also insures the goods until the destination port. |
| CPT | Incoterm | The seller pays carriage to a named place; the risk passes at the first carrier. |
| CIP | Incoterm | Like CPT, and the seller also insures the goods to the named place. |
| DAP | Incoterm | The seller delivers to a named place, ready for unloading; import duties are the buyer's. |
| DPU | Incoterm | The seller delivers and unloads the goods at a named place in the destination country. |
| DDP | Incoterm | The seller delivers to the buyer's place and pays import duties and taxes too. |
| FAS | Incoterm | The seller places the goods alongside the vessel at the port of loading. |
| T/T | Payment term | A bank transfer, often a deposit before production and the balance against documents. |
| L/C | Payment term | A letter of credit, under which the buyer's bank pays once the shipping documents match its terms. |
| D/P | Payment term | Documents against payment, where the buyer gets the shipping documents once it pays. |
| D/A | Payment term | Documents against acceptance, where the buyer gets the documents by accepting to pay later. |

| Bank Transfer | Payment term | A direct transfer between bank accounts, agreed in the contract. |
| Escrow | Payment term | A third party holds the payment until the buyer confirms delivery. |
| Cash | Payment term | Payment in cash, usually only for small or local orders. |
Name the Incoterm with a place, and agree it and the payment term in writing before production starts.
| Point | What to check | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Incoterm and place | Every quotation names the same Incoterm and port or place. | Prices on FOB and on CIF differ by the freight and the insurance. |
| Specification | The grade, size or composition quoted matches the one asked for. | A lower grade can hide behind a lower price. |
| Quantity and MOQ | The price is for the quantity ordered, above the minimum order. | Unit prices change with the order size. |
| Packaging | Packing type, size and labelling are stated and the same. | Custom packing adds cost. |
| Payment term | The payment term and the deposit asked. | It moves the risk between buyer and seller. |
| Lead time | The production and shipping time to the destination. | A late shipment can cost more than a higher price. |
| Documents | The certificates and export documents included. | Missing papers can block customs. |
| Validity | How long the quoted price holds. | Quotations are often valid for a limited time only. |
Ask every counterpart to quote on the same basis: only then does the lower price win.
