Crop-first procurement

Start from your crop and yield target, not from a greenhouse catalogue

Direct answer

Define the crop, the target annual yield and the technology level you can realistically operate. Those three inputs give you the covered area, plant population, water demand and equipment scope — and that scope is what qualified suppliers should bid against. Choosing a greenhouse company before the crop plan exists is what makes proposals impossible to compare.

SeedMatchGroup is an independent, supplier-neutral procurement platform. It does not manufacture, engineer, install or guarantee agronomic performance. Yield, water and plant-density figures on this page are planning bands used to size a tender — the qualified independent suppliers, agronomists and contractors you select confirm the final design and any performance commitment.

Build a supplier-neutral RFQ Before you request quotes
Project-specific agronomy and engineering are provided by the selected qualified independent professionals and contractors. SeedMatch Group gathers requirements, structures the pre-RFQ brief and coordinates independent proposals; it does not design greenhouses, specify crop plans, select varieties or deliver construction.
SeedMatch Group is not a bank, lender, financing institution, credit provider or investment adviser. It may help eligible project sponsors prepare information and submit requests to independent financing providers. All eligibility, due diligence, credit decisions, pricing, security, terms and disbursement are controlled solely by those providers.
