With suppliers spread across five diverse countries, buyers gain access to multiple regional supply chains that reduce exposure to single-country disruptions, while the wide price range—from $640 to $30,000 per MT—signals that price alone doesn’t reflect quality, so buyers must verify origin and processing details. However, only 32% of suppliers are phone-verified, meaning due diligence on authenticity and reliability remains a key risk, requiring buyers to independently validate supplier claims before committing.
