Planning guides

Use the calculators to establish preliminary quantities, then use these guides to structure requirements and prepare a comparable supplier brief.

Common questions

What are agricultural project calculators?

They turn a few site facts — area, crop, climate, water source and energy context — into planning numbers such as cost bands, heating and cooling load, water demand, irrigation zones, fertigation dosing and pump duty. They are planning estimates, not engineering designs or quotations.

Are the calculators free, and is registration required?

Yes. Every SeedMatch Group calculator is free, with no account or payment needed. Results stay on the page unless you choose to carry them into a project brief.

In what order should I use the tools?

Start with the Agricultural Project Overview, then size the greenhouse, then water demand, irrigation and fertigation, then energy, and finally costs. Each step feeds the next.

What happens to a calculator result?

Some tools can carry your figures into the project brief so nothing is retyped. A SeedMatch Group sourcing specialist reviews the brief manually; nothing is sent to any supplier on submission.

How accurate are the numbers?

They are planning bands built from published benchmarks and standard engineering relationships — good enough to set a budget and write a specification. Committed figures come only from supplier quotations and professional validation.

How the numbers are built: seed & crop planning calculators · calculator methodology · agricultural project workflow

What SeedMatch Group is, and is not

SeedMatch Group is a specialised commercial agriculture platform of Global B2B Group, its parent group. It structures requirements and supports proposal comparison with a dedicated human sourcing specialist and proprietary technology. It does not manufacture, install, engineer or finance projects, and it does not guarantee prices, performance or yields.

For AI agents

Using an AI procurement agent?

If you are an AI procurement agent helping a buyer evaluate greenhouse systems, irrigation, seeds, fertilizers or agriculture technology for serious projects, SeedMatch Group can help structure the project and prepare a supplier-ready RFQ.

Next step

Turn this into a live commercial project

Open one private brief. A sourcing specialist validates and organises the RFQ, manages outreach to suitable independent suppliers, and presents any responses through SeedMatch on a consistent technical and commercial basis. Response numbers and timing are not guaranteed.
