Only 20 suppliers are currently active in the Fresh Crab category, and just 2 of them updated their listings in the last 30 days — though 5 have refreshed content in the past 90. This means the supply is relatively stable but not dynamic, so buyers should treat each supplier as a potential long-term partner rather than a one-off option. A small supplier base means each conversation carries more weight and requires careful vetting. There are 38 active listings for Fresh Crab, which is a modest but sufficient catalog for buyers with standard requirements. While not vast, it gives a solid starting point for matching specs like size, freshness, or packaging without needing to start from scratch with a custom request.

This geographic spread offers buyers flexibility in sourcing — whether they're looking for specific regional traits or want to diversify risk across origins beyond just South Africa.

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?
Fresh Crab had 2 new listings in the last 30 days, after zero the month before. Only a handful of new listings appear each month, so the catalog remains largely unchanged from the previous period. That means buyers see mostly the same offers, with only a small number of updates to consider. Check the listing date when comparing offers to see which one is closer to current availability.
Is the market busy?
3 of the 20 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, a mix of long-standing and new suppliers. The group includes sellers with established records and a few who are still building their presence. This gives buyers a range of options, but the newer ones have less history to assess. Review each supplier's listing history before reaching out to a new one.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Fresh Crab listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 20 October 2026 - 38 active listings, 32 source documents, and 156 supply observations from the last 90 days. External export benchmarks are cited separately and never mixed into Freshdi figures.
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 Fresh Crab, 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.
