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?
Indian Black Tea gained 11 new listings in the last 30 days, more than the 9 the month before. New offers are arriving at a faster rate than last month, so the catalog a buyer browses today includes more recent prices or pack sizes. Compare the listing date when evaluating two similar offers to see which one is more recent.
Is the market busy?
Only 1 of the 86 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, so the pool is mostly made up of long-standing sellers. Buyers here meet sellers with a long history of listings, which makes it easier to assess consistency in availability and pricing. The small number of new suppliers means the shortlist will largely consist of familiar names. Review each supplier's listing history before reaching out.
