With suppliers spread across India, France, and China, buyers gain access to diverse production capabilities and regional cost advantages, while the fixed reference price of $400/ton provides clear, predictable cost benchmarks. Combined with the widespread use of FOB terms, buyers retain control over freight costs and logistics planning, enabling more efficient supply chain management. However, the payment term 'As Per Customer Requirement' introduces flexibility that may lack clarity, so buyers should verify terms upfront to avoid unexpected payment delays or disputes.
