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 Small Fish gained 7 new listings in the last 30 days, more than the 5 the month before. New offers are arriving at a faster rate than last month, so the catalog a buyer sees today includes more recent entries. Compare the listing dates when evaluating similar offers to spot the most up-to-date ones.
Is the market busy?
Only 1 of the 66 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, so the pool is mostly made up of long-standing sellers. Buyers meet a consistent group of established suppliers with a history of listing, which makes it easier to assess reliability over time. The small number of new entries limits the chance to find a supplier with a fresh track record. Review each supplier's listing history before reaching out.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Dried Small Fish listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 11 October 2026 - 128 active listings, 16 buyer requests, 20 source documents, and 146 supply observations from the last 90 days. External export benchmarks are cited separately and never mixed into Freshdi figures.
Price and MOQ ranges are the interquartile range - the middle half of quotes, a quarter below and a quarter above - with the median reported alongside. A Dried Small Fish type is priced only once it holds at least 5% of supply price quotes and 3 priced listings with a real range; below that it is not listed. Buyer prices are compared only once there are at least 5 of them.
All prices are FOB, in USD per metric ton; quotes on other Incoterms are converted to a FOB equivalent. Freshdi does not hold a CIF price series for Dried Small Fish, so no landed-cost comparison is possible from this data.
Product freshness counts listings created or updated. Supplier activity counts sellers by their last update. The two are different measurements and will not agree.
Freshdi reprocesses market data every hour, with one snapshot a day for trends. This page's figures, certification coverage included, refresh every 14 days on a rolling 365-day window.
