With a common MOQ of 5 tons, buyers can source in a volume that’s both cost-effective and operationally manageable, avoiding either excessive small orders or unfeasibly large commitments. The spread of top suppliers across Tanzania, India, Myanmar, China, and Ethiopia provides geographic diversity, reducing supply chain risk and enabling more stable, year-round sourcing. Combined with a wide reference price range of $480–$1,500/ton, buyers gain pricing flexibility to negotiate based on quality, volume, or regional sourcing advantages—giving them leverage to secure better deals without sacrificing supply reliability.
