11origins
Freshdi Value Added Lobster suppliers come from 11 countries, led by India at 15.4%, as of 16 November 2026.
Only 13 suppliers are currently active in the Value Added Lobster category, and none have updated their listings in the past 30 days — just two did in the last 90. This means the supply is stable but slow to evolve, so buyers should treat each supplier as a one-off opportunity rather than a long-term source. The lack of recent updates suggests that pricing or product specs may be static, making it important to verify details upfront. There are 18 active listings for Value Added Lobster, which is a small but focused catalog. While it doesn’t cover every possible product variation, buyers with a specific use case — like processed lobster paste or pre-packaged meals — can find a match without needing to start from scratch or wait for a new listing to appear. Suppliers come from 11 different countries, with India contributing just 15.4%. This broad geographic spread means buyers aren’t limited to a single origin, offering flexibility in terms of quality, cost, or compliance — though India remains a minor contributor, so the rest of the countries offer more niche or regional options to explore.

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 |
|---|---|---|
| EXW | Incoterm | The buyer collects the goods at the seller's premises and pays every cost from there. |
| FCA | Incoterm | The seller hands the goods, cleared for export, to the buyer's carrier at a named place. |
| FOB | Incoterm | The seller loads the goods on the vessel at the port of loading; freight is the buyer's. |
| CFR | Incoterm | The seller pays sea freight to the destination port; the risk passes once loaded. |
| CIF | Incoterm | Like CFR, and the seller also insures the goods until the destination port. |
| CPT | Incoterm | The seller pays carriage to a named place; the risk passes at the first carrier. |
| 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. |
| DDP | Incoterm | The seller delivers to the buyer's place and pays import duties and taxes too. |
| FAS | Incoterm | The seller places the goods alongside the vessel at the port of loading. |

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.
