In the 30 days to 15 November 2026, buyers sent 2 Frozen Hake inquiries on Freshdi, down 33.3% from the previous 30 days.
Only 8 suppliers are currently offering Frozen Hake, and none of them have updated their listings in the last 30 days — just one did in the past 90. This means the supply is static, and buyers should treat each supplier as a one-time opportunity rather than a long-term option. There are 22 listings live right now, which is a modest catalog for a frozen seafood category. While it doesn’t cover every possible size or packaging, buyers can still find a match without needing to start from scratch with a custom request. Seven countries supply Frozen Hake, with South Africa making up 25% of the exporters. This spread offers buyers some geographic flexibility, though South Africa remains the most represented source — a key point for those prioritizing consistency or specific quality standards. Buyer inquiries dropped 33.3% to just 2 in the last 30 days compared to the prior period — a sharp decline that suggests reduced interest or potential supply delays. Buyers should act quickly, as this could mean fewer suppliers are available to respond in the coming weeks.

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?
3 of the 8 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, a large share of newcomers. The group includes both long-standing sellers with a history of listings and newer ones building their presence. That means buyers have access to a mix of established and emerging suppliers, which broadens the range of options but also means newer sellers have less track record to evaluate. 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 Frozen Hake listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 8 November 2026 - 22 active listings, 4 buyer requests, 10 source documents, and 89 supply observations from the same period. 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 Frozen Hake 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 Frozen Hake, 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.

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.
