Freshdi has 15 active Smoked Dried Catfish suppliers, 0.1% of all suppliers on the platform, as of 4 November 2026.
12origins
Freshdi Smoked Dried Catfish suppliers come from 12 countries, led by Nigeria at 20.0%, as of 4 November 2026.
Only 15 suppliers are currently active in the Smoked Dried Catfish category, and none have updated their listings in the last 30 days — just one did in the past 90. This means the supply is stable but not dynamic, so buyers should treat each supplier as a one-off contact rather than a long-term option. With such a small pool, every conversation carries more weight and requires careful vetting. There are 29 active listings available, which is a modest catalog size. For a buyer with a specific packaging or grade requirement, this means a match is possible — but not guaranteed — so it's wise to reach out directly if the exact need isn't already covered. Suppliers come from 12 different countries, with Nigeria accounting for 20.0% of the total. This geographic spread offers buyers flexibility in sourcing, especially if they're looking to avoid over-reliance on a single origin or need to compare regional quality and logistics.

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?
Smoked Dried Catfish had 3 new listings in the last 30 days, after zero the month before. Only a handful of new offers appeared, so the catalog remains largely unchanged from the prior month. That means buyers are seeing mostly the same products, with only a small number of recent additions to consider. Check the listing date when comparing offers to see which one is closer to current availability.
Is the market busy?
1 of the 15 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, so the pool is mostly made up of long-standing sellers. These sellers have a history of consistent listings, which makes it easier to assess their 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 Smoked Dried Catfish listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 27 October 2026 - 29 active listings, 3 buyer requests, 8 source documents, and 82 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 Smoked Dried Catfish 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 Smoked Dried Catfish, 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.
