Freshdi lists Currant suppliers from 4 countries, led by Kenya at 40.0%, as of 15 November 2026.
Only 5 suppliers are currently active in the Currant category, and just one of them updated a listing in the last 30 days — only two have refreshed their offering in the past 90 days. This means the supply is stable but not dynamic, so buyers should treat each supplier as a one-off opportunity rather than a long-term source. The low update rate suggests that suppliers may be operating with fixed inventory, making it essential to act quickly when reaching out. There are just 5 active listings for Currant, which is a very limited catalog. A buyer looking for a specific grade, size, or packaging will likely find only one or two options, so matching needs exactly is critical — there’s little room for compromise or negotiation on specs. Suppliers come from 4 countries, with Kenya accounting for 40.0% of the supply. This gives buyers a clear starting point for sourcing, especially if they're prioritizing quality or volume, while the other three countries offer minor alternatives that could be useful for diversifying risk or testing different origin profiles.

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?
Currant had 1 new listing in the last 30 days, the same as the month before. The catalog is refreshing at a minimal pace, so the offers available today are largely unchanged from last month. That means buyers see a consistent set of prices and pack sizes, with little shift in the product mix. Check the listing date when comparing offers to confirm which one is current.
Is the market busy?
0 of the 5 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, so all are long-standing. The pool is stable and built on existing sellers with a history of consistent listings. There are no new names to consider, so the selection is limited to those already known to buyers. 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. |

| 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.
