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?
Frozen Whole Mackerel gained 84 new listings in the last 30 days, more than the 46 the month before. New offers are arriving at a faster rate than a month ago, so the catalog a buyer browses today includes more recent prices or pack sizes. That increases the chance of finding a current offer that differs from older ones in terms of volume or cost. Compare the listing dates when evaluating similar offers to see which is closer to today’s market conditions.
Is the market busy?
4 of the 218 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, mostly long-standing suppliers. The pool is dominated by sellers with a long history of listings, which means most offers have a consistent presence over time. Review each supplier’s listing history before contacting them for a new order.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Frozen Whole Mackerel listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 26 October 2026 - 1,068 active listings, 120 buyer requests, 25 source documents, and 191 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 Frozen Whole Mackerel 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 Whole Mackerel, so no landed-cost comparison is possible from this data.
Demand-versus-supply differences in trade and payment term shares are stated in percentage points, and origin rows add buyer requests per listing. Each figure carries its market scope - global - beside the number rather than in a footnote.
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.
