Countries

4origins

Mandarins suppliers on Freshdi are spread over 4 countries, led by South Africa at 42.9%, as of 16 November 2026.

Only 7 suppliers are currently active in the Mandarins category, and none have updated their listings in the past 30 days — just one did in the last 90. This means the supply is stable but not dynamic, so buyers should treat each supplier as a one-off opportunity rather than a long-term source. With such a small pool, every conversation carries more weight and requires careful vetting. There are 13 active listings for Mandarins, which is a modest catalog size. While it may not cover every possible size, grade, or packaging variation, it still offers a baseline to compare options without needing to start from scratch with a custom request. Suppliers come from four countries, with South Africa accounting for 42.9% of the total. This gives buyers a clear anchor point for sourcing — South Africa is the most common origin — while the other three countries provide minor alternatives that could be useful for diversifying risk or meeting specific regional preferences.

**How to compare quotations**The points two quotations must share before their prices compare.
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.
