Dried Date drew 2 buyer inquiries on Freshdi in the 30 days to 14 November 2026, down 33.3% from the previous 30 days.
Only 4 suppliers are currently listing Dried Date, and none have updated their listings in the last 30 days. This small supplier base means each conversation carries significant weight—buyers should expect to engage directly and thoroughly vet each option, as there’s little room for negotiation or fallbacks. Just 5 listings are live, which limits the range of grades, pack sizes, or certifications available. A buyer with a specific need may find it difficult to find a match without reaching out directly, making supplier outreach essential. Suppliers come from 4 countries, with Iran accounting for 25.0% of the total. While Iran is a minor share, the presence of suppliers from multiple nations offers a small degree of geographic flexibility—useful for buyers seeking to diversify risk or explore different origin profiles. Buyer inquiries dropped 33.3% to just 2 in the last 30 days, signaling a sharp decline in interest. With only 4 suppliers and no recent updates, this drop suggests supply may be under pressure or demand is shifting—buyers should act quickly before availability tightens further.
In the 365 days to 14 November 2026, Freshdi logged 2 buyer requests for Dried Date globally.

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?
Dried Date 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 current market. Check the listing date when comparing offers to confirm which one is closer to today’s availability.
Is the market busy?
17 of the 4 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, more than half joined recently. The group includes both long-standing and new sellers, which adds variety but means some have less history to rely on. A buyer can find newer names with fresh offers, though those need more scrutiny before a first order. Review each supplier’s listing history before reaching out.

Can these suppliers be trusted?
3 of 4 suppliers are verified, at least three in four, enough to contact several verified suppliers at once, and replies typically come within the hour. A buyer can send inquiries to multiple verified sellers and get responses the same day, which keeps the sourcing process efficient. Only 1 of 4 suppliers lists a certificate. Ask each shortlisted supplier for the certificate if required for shipment.

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. |

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.
