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?
Live King Crab had 3 new listings in the last 30 days, up from 2 the month before. The number of new offers is only a handful, so the catalog remains stable with little change from month to month.

Compare the listing dates when evaluating similar offers to see which one is closer to current market conditions.
Is the market busy?

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Live King Crab listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 30 October 2026 - 85 active listings, 8 buyer requests, 64 source documents, and 336 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 Live King Crab 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 Live King Crab, 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.
