With suppliers spread across the U.S., Tanzania, India, China, and South Africa, buyers gain access to diverse production bases and regional cost advantages, reducing reliance on any single market. While only 37% of suppliers have phone verification, the presence of common trade terms like FOB and CIF gives buyers flexibility to choose freight terms that match their logistics capacity, and the wide price range—from $700 to over $3,174 per MT—means buyers must carefully evaluate quality and origin to avoid overpaying and ensure value.
