Herbal Product drew 2 buyer inquiries on Freshdi in the 30 days to 14 November 2026, down 50% from the previous 30 days.
Only 8 suppliers are currently active in the Herbal Product category, which means each one is a key player in the market. With no updates from most suppliers in the last 30 days, buyers should expect a slower pace of new inventory or changes—this suggests a need for direct engagement rather than relying on fresh listings. Just 11 listings are currently active, which is a small catalog for a category that typically sees more variety. This limits the range of grades, forms, or certifications available, so buyers with specific needs may need to reach out directly to suppliers to confirm availability. Suppliers come from 7 different countries, with Tanzania making up 25.0% of the total. This spread offers buyers a range of regional options, though Tanzania is the most represented—meaning it's a strong starting point for sourcing, while others provide niche alternatives for specific herbal profiles or regulations. Buyer inquiries dropped 50% over the last 30 days to just 2—this signals a sharp decline in interest. For buyers, it means now is a good time to act, as demand is low and suppliers may be more open to new inquiries or flexible terms.

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 sellers with a long history and those who are still building their presence. This gives buyers more names to consider, but newer suppliers have less track record to evaluate. Review each supplier’s listing history before contacting them for the first time.

Can these suppliers be trusted?
7 of 8 suppliers are verified, at least three in four, enough to contact several verified suppliers at once, and replies take more than a day. A buyer can start with a group of verified sellers and follow up over time, though the response time is long. 5 of 8 list a certificate, and CERTIFICATE_OF_ORIGIN is held by 2 of them, 40.0% of the listed ones. Filter for CERTIFICATE_OF_ORIGIN if a shipment requires it, or ask each shortlisted supplier for the certificate up front.

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. |
| FAS | Incoterm | The seller places the goods alongside the vessel at the port of loading. |
| T/T | Payment term | A bank transfer, often a deposit before production and the balance against documents. |
| L/C | Payment term | A letter of credit, under which the buyer's bank pays once the shipping documents match its terms. |
| D/P | Payment term | Documents against payment, where the buyer gets the shipping documents once it pays. |
| D/A | Payment term | Documents against acceptance, where the buyer gets the documents by accepting to pay later. |
| CAD | Payment term | Cash against documents, where payment is made when the shipping documents are presented. |
| Bank Transfer | Payment term | A direct transfer between bank accounts, agreed in the contract. |
| Escrow | Payment term | A third party holds the payment until the buyer confirms delivery. |
| Cash | Payment term | Payment in cash, usually only for small or local orders. |
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.
