Crop Yield Estimator
Model annual production, revenue and gross margin for open-field, shade, polyhouse or hydroponic projects. Supplier-neutral scoping tool — designed for commercial buyers preparing an RFQ or feasibility study.
Estimate only — not a quotation. Outputs are indicative planning ranges based on the values you enter and typical commercial benchmarks. Real pricing, specifications and lead times vary by country, site conditions and supplier, and are confirmed only in written offers collected through a private RFQ.
Project inputs
+200% over open field (indicative)
Typical for Tomato: ~$0.6/kg
Yields are commercial agronomic averages. Real outcomes depend on climate, cultivar, protocol, labour and market access. This is a scoping tool, not investment advice.
Excludes CAPEX, depreciation, financing and overhead. Pair with the ROI calculator and financing pre-qualifier for a full business case.
Turn this estimate into a qualified project
SeedMatchGroup is a supplier-neutral platform. We do not manufacture or resell equipment — we help buyers specify the project correctly, open one private RFQ to qualified global manufacturers, integrators and EPCs, and introduce relevant financing tracks.
Frequently asked questions
What can change the result?
This is a preliminary planning estimate based on the values you entered. The variables below usually move the outcome most, and should be confirmed with an agronomist, engineer and supplier offers before final design.
- Crop and cultivar — water, climate and support requirements differ per crop
- Growing area and layout — hectares alone are not a greenhouse specification
- Local climate: temperature, humidity, radiation and wind exposure
- Growing system (soil, substrate, hydroponic) and plant density

Procurement answers behind these numbers
A model output only holds if the scope, contract route and delivery terms match the assumptions. These reference answers cover the commercial decisions that move the figure.
- Turnkey EPC vs separate equipment packages
- What belongs in a greenhouse equipment specification
- Normal payment milestones in equipment contracts
- Which Incoterms to use for greenhouse and irrigation equipment
- How long a commercial greenhouse takes from order to handover
- What is normally the owner's scope on a greenhouse project
Move crop yield estimator. into a structured RFQ
Editorial · not a sales pitchCalculator outputs are indicative. When your numbers stabilise, a supplier-neutral RFQ turns those estimates into comparable offers from verified providers.
The facts a complete, supplier-neutral request on this topic includes. Use it as a checklist before submitting.
- Project location, scale (hectares / m² / units) and target start window
- Crop, product category or equipment scope required
- Technical scope: structures, equipment, controls, irrigation, energy
- Delivery terms, incoterms, packaging and destination port or site
- Budget band (USD $250K+) and approval status
- Financing route: equity, senior debt, leasing, ECA, grant — where relevant
- Site plan, layout sketch or existing BOQ
- Any feasibility study or previous supplier quotation

SeedMatch Group is an independent agricultural project sourcing and RFQ platform. We are not a farm, seed producer, fertilizer manufacturer, irrigation manufacturer, greenhouse builder, EPC contractor, lender or financial advisor. Supplier and project partner outreach is handled only after a commercial project brief is reviewed.
Supplier and manufacturer listings are provided for research, transparency and discovery only. SeedMatch Group does not provide automatic buyer-supplier introductions. Every agriculture project request is reviewed manually by David / SeedMatch Group, and supplier introductions are made only after internal approval.
