With suppliers spread across India, Indonesia, Mexico, Myanmar, and South Africa, buyers gain access to diverse regional sources that can help balance supply risk and pricing across different harvest cycles and market conditions. While only 44% of suppliers are business-verified and 44% have work-email verification, the 53% phone-verified rate adds a layer of contact reliability, helping buyers confirm real-time availability and responsiveness. Combined with a wide price range of $152–$1,200 per MT, buyers must evaluate both price and origin to avoid overpaying or receiving inconsistent quality—making due diligence on supplier credentials essential for cost and quality control.
