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 Whole Squid had 84 new listings in the last 30 days, more than double the 24 seen the month before. Compare listing dates when evaluating offers to see which ones are most current.
Is the market busy?
No suppliers joined in the last 12 months, so all current sellers have a history of listing on the platform. The pool is made up entirely of established names, which means each seller has a track record of consistent availability. That reduces the need to evaluate new sellers, but also means the choice is limited to those already present. 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 Fresh Whole Squid listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 16 October 2026 - 576 active listings, 43 buyer requests, 44 source documents, and 175 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 Fresh Whole Squid 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 Fresh Whole Squid, 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.
