Freshdi lists Fresh Hake suppliers from 2 countries, led by South Africa at 50.0%, as of 15 November 2026.
Only 2 suppliers are currently listing Fresh Hake, and neither has updated a listing in the last 30 days — just one did so in the last 90. This means the supply is static, and buyers should treat each supplier as a one-off opportunity rather than a long-term option. With such a small base, every conversation carries significant weight and must be handled with precision. There are 13 listings available right now, which is a modest catalog for a fresh seafood category. While it covers a range of sizes and packaging, the lack of recent updates suggests suppliers aren’t adjusting to market demand, so buyers should verify freshness and lead times directly with each listing. The category is sourced from just two countries, with South Africa supplying half of all exporters. This narrow origin pool means buyers have limited flexibility in sourcing by region, but also means they can quickly assess quality and compliance standards from a single, well-established source.

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?
Is the market busy?
1 of the 2 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, more than half joined in the last 12 months. The pool includes one new seller and one established one, so buyers see a mix of recent and long-standing offers. The new supplier has less history to show, so a buyer must check their listing consistency before trusting their offer. Review the listing history of both suppliers before selecting a shortlist.

| CIP | Incoterm | Like CPT, and the seller also insures the goods to the named place. |

| 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.
