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?
Octopus gained 13 new listings in the last 30 days, more than double the 2 from the previous month. Compare the listing date when evaluating offers that appear similar in other aspects.
Is the market busy?
No suppliers joined in the last 12 months, so all sellers have a long-standing presence on the platform. The pool is stable in terms of who is available, but the lack of new entries means buyers don’t get a chance to meet new sellers with fresh offerings. Each supplier has a history of consistent listings, which makes it easier to assess reliability over time. Review each supplier's listing history before reaching out.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Octopus listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 22 October 2026 - 103 active listings, 8 buyer requests, 13 source documents, and 138 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 Octopus 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 Octopus, 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.
