Freshdi Market Insight
Tilapia Fillet suppliers and buyer demand, backed by real data
Vietnam (23.8%) and China (19%) lead the 21 Tilapia Fillet suppliers, with Indonesia at 19%, so sourcing from outside these top three origins is limited. The typical range is USD 2,735 - 3,408 per metric ton FOB, centered at a USD 3,108 median, meaning buyers should expect variation and verify grade or origin before committing. Buyer inquiries total 2 in the last 30 days. Buyers request CFR more often than suppliers offer it - a 27.3 percentage point gap - so a CFR price must be explicitly asked for.

Freshdi lists Tilapia Fillet suppliers from 10 countries, led by Vietnam at 23.8%, as of 16 November 2026.
Only 21 suppliers are currently active in the Tilapia Fillet category, and just 3 of them updated their listings in the last 30 days — though 5 did so in the last 90. This suggests a relatively stable but slow-moving supply base, meaning buyers should expect consistent but not rapidly evolving product details. For a buyer, that means deeper vetting of each supplier’s current offerings is key, as updates are infrequent and new inventory may not appear quickly. There are just 28 active listings for Tilapia Fillet, which is a small catalog for a category that typically sees higher volume. This limits the range of grades, pack sizes, or processing methods available, so buyers with specific needs should prepare to engage directly with suppliers rather than relying on a broad marketplace match. Suppliers come from 10 different countries, with Vietnam accounting for 23.8% of the total. This geographic spread offers buyers flexibility in sourcing, allowing them to compare options across regions without being locked into a single origin — especially useful for those concerned about import regulations, quality variations, or supply chain resilience.

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?
Tilapia Fillet had 2 new listings in the last 30 days, the same as the month before. The catalog is refreshing at a steady pace, so newer and older offers sit side by side. That gives a buyer a regular flow of new offers to weigh against the established ones. Check the listing date when comparing two similar offers.
Is the market busy?
7 of the 21 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, a large share of newcomers. The pool mixes sellers with a long listing record and sellers who are still building one. That gives buyers more names to choose from, but the newer ones need a closer look before a first order. Check verification and start a new seller with a sample or a small trial order.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Tilapia Fillet listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 7 November 2026 - 28 active listings, 10 buyer requests, 34 source documents, and 173 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 Tilapia Fillet 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 Tilapia Fillet, so no landed-cost comparison is possible from this data.
Demand-versus-supply differences in trade and payment term shares are stated in percentage points, and origin rows add buyer requests per listing. Each figure carries its market scope - global - beside the number rather than in a footnote.
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.

| CIP | Incoterm | Like CPT, and the seller also insures the goods to the named place. |

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.
