With suppliers spread across South Africa, India, the U.S., and the Netherlands, buyers gain access to diverse sourcing options with varying logistics and seasonal availability, reducing reliance on a single region. The high rate of phone-verified suppliers—71%—provides direct, real-time validation of a supplier’s legitimacy and responsiveness, cutting down on communication risks and fraud. Combined with a clear reference price range of $1,000–$1,800 per ton, buyers can confidently evaluate offers, compare value, and avoid overpaying while ensuring consistent quality and supply.
