9origins
Hake suppliers on Freshdi are spread over 9 countries, led by South Africa at 20.0%, as of 15 November 2026.
Only 10 suppliers are currently offering Hake on the platform, and none of them have updated their listings in the past 30 days — just one did in the last 90. This means the supply is static, and buyers should treat each supplier as a one-time opportunity rather than a long-term source. With no recent updates, there’s little room for negotiation on pricing or lead times, so early engagement is critical. There are 33 listings live right now, which is a modest catalog for a seafood category. While it doesn’t offer deep variety across grades or packaging, it still gives buyers a baseline to compare against — especially if they’re looking for a standard product with known specs. The lack of recent updates suggests suppliers aren’t refreshing inventory, so buyers should verify product details directly. Hake is sourced from 9 different countries, with South Africa making up just 20% of the supply. This geographic spread means buyers aren’t locked into one region’s conditions — whether it’s import regulations, seasonality, or quality standards — and can evaluate alternatives based on origin-specific factors like freshness or sustainability claims.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Hake listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 15 November 2026 - 33 active listings, 4 buyer requests, 72 source documents, and 440 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 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 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.

| 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.
