With lettuces sourced from diverse global regions including the U.S., Ethiopia, China, and Guatemala, buyers gain access to multiple supply bases with varying quality, seasonality, and cost profiles—reducing reliance on any single origin. The consistent reference price of $5.00 per bag creates a clear, predictable cost benchmark, while the availability of FCA, DAP, and CIF terms gives buyers flexibility to match their logistics needs and freight capabilities, minimizing hidden costs and delivery risks.
