minimum order qty

minimum order qty refers to the smallest quantity of a product that a supplier or manufacturer will accept in an order. This is a common term used in business-to-business (B2B) transactions, especially for wholesale and bulk purchases. Minimum order quantities are set by suppliers to ensure that production or shipping costs are met. Businesses looking to purchase items in large quantities often negotiate MOQ with suppliers to secure better pricing and reduce overall costs, especially when ordering customized or specialty products.
