With a common MOQ of 300 cartons, buyers can source sardines in scalable, cost-effective volumes without being tied to small or inconsistent orders. Sourced from top markets like South Africa, the U.S., Turkey, China, and Indonesia, the global spread offers flexibility in lead times and compliance, reducing supply chain risk. While price ranges from $9.60 to $40 million per carton highlight dramatic variation, buyers can use the availability of common trade terms like FOB, CIF, and DDP to match their logistics and freight capabilities—ensuring they choose the most efficient and cost-optimized shipping model.
