How stable is this supply base?

Is there much new product?
Skipjack Tuna had 5 new listings in the last 30 days, fewer than the 7 the month before. When comparing similar offers, the listing date helps identify which one is closer to current market conditions. Check the listing date when evaluating two offers that appear similar in price or pack size.
Is the market busy?

The pool is dominated by sellers with a history of consistent listings, which makes it easier to assess reliability over time. Fewer new names mean the shortlist is largely composed of suppliers buyers already know. Review each supplier's listing history before reaching out to confirm consistency.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Skipjack Tuna listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 1 November 2026 - 59 active listings, 14 buyer requests, 44 source documents, and 296 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 Skipjack Tuna 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 Skipjack Tuna, 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.

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 |

| 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. |

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.
