With 61% of suppliers phone-verified, buyers can confidently reach out to suppliers for real-time quality, delivery, or production questions—critical for a niche crop like rhode grass that requires precise coordination. This is combined with flexible trade terms like FOB, CIF, and EXW, giving buyers control over cost and risk depending on their logistics setup. While only 44% are business-verified, the high phone verification rate reduces communication risk and builds trust in the sourcing process.
