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.
Datos del cultivo y del lote
Fija semillas por gramo y densidad de plantas típicas — ambas editables abajo.
Del dato de lote del proveedor — la semilla peletizada es mucho menor.
La oferta del proveedor, o su cifra de presupuesto.
Su propio margen de pérdida entre semilla sembrada y plantas en pie.
Solo una estimación de planificación. Excluye recargos de tratamiento, unidades de envasado, flete, aranceles y costes fitosanitarios. Las semillas por gramo y las densidades son valores típicos a confirmar con el dato de lote del proveedor.
Cómo se construyen los números
- Plantas necesarias = superficie plantada × densidad de plantas.
- Semillas necesarias = plantas ÷ (germinación × pureza × establecimiento). Cada etapa de pérdida se acumula, por lo que presupuestar semilla solo contra plantas siempre queda corto.
- Peso de semilla = semillas ÷ (semillas por gramo × 1.000).
- Coste efectivo por kilogramo útil = precio ofertado ÷ (germinación × pureza). Esta es la cifra a comparar entre ofertas — no el precio de partida por kilogramo.
Ejemplo resuelto: 10 ha de tomate a 22.000 plantas/ha, 92 % de germinación, 99 % de pureza y 90 % de establecimiento necesitan unas 268.000 semillas — aproximadamente 0,9 kg a 300 semillas por gramo. Con una oferta de 400 US$/kg, el coste efectivo por kilogramo útil es de unos 439 US$.

Frequently asked questions
El precio ofertado compra un kilogramo de semilla, no un kilogramo de plantas. Divida el precio ofertado entre la tasa de germinación y la de pureza para obtener el coste efectivo por kilogramo útil. Un lote con 85 % de germinación y 98 % de pureza cuesta aproximadamente un 20 % más por kilogramo útil que el mismo precio con 99 % y 99 %.
No. Los precios los fija el proveedor por variedad, lote, tratamiento y volumen, y cambian entre campañas. Esta calculadora usa el precio que le han ofertado, o una cifra de presupuesto que usted elija, para comparar ofertas en la misma base. No publicamos ni estimamos precios de mercado.
La germinación de laboratorio se mide en condiciones controladas. El establecimiento en campo o semillero suele ser menor, por lo que los compradores añaden un margen al convertir la demanda de plantas en demanda de semilla. Ajústelo con sus propios registros para el cultivo, la campaña y el método de siembra.
No. Las semillas por gramo varían por variedad, lote y según la semilla sea cruda, preacondicionada, encrustada o peletizada — el peletizado puede reducir varias veces el número de semillas por kilogramo. Los valores por defecto son valores típicos de planificación; sobrescríbalos con el dato del lote del proveedor.
Understanding the values
What each choice in this calculator means, and how the options differ in practice.
- Ranges, not points
- Planning figures are ranges because scope, site and market move the real number. Read both ends of the range before deciding.
- What is excluded
- Land, site works, utilities and working capital are usually outside per-unit bands. Check the exclusions before comparing two estimates.
Illustrative project summary
1 ha multi-span tomato house
A new commercial entrant builds a first multi-span block with fertigation, insect screens and a basic climate computer.
1 ha · Multi-span polyhouse · Tomatoes
Indicative full greenhouse project CAPEX
USD 575K – USD 1.56M
Illustration only, not a real project or quotation. This is the structure, equipment and site-works budget for the example greenhouse, not the price of this calculator’s individual system, seeds or inputs, and not a result calculated from your entries. Excludes land, permits, packhouse, financing costs and working capital.
Based on the published commercial greenhouse cost benchmark. Written offers require a private project review; commercial projects start from USD 250K.
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.
- Growing area and layout — hectares alone are not a greenhouse specification
- Greenhouse type and technology level (tunnel, naturally ventilated, high-tech)
- Structure specification, wind and snow loads, and site civil works
- Energy and utility tariffs, plus tariff escalation over time
- Financing terms, contingency and currency movement
Questions this calculator answers
Typical buyer and investor searches this tool is built for, including the markets where we run the most commercial projects.
- commercial greenhouse construction cost per hectare for a commercial project
- commercial greenhouse construction cost for a 2-hectare project — India
- commercial greenhouse construction cost: indicative planning ranges — Kenya
- commercial greenhouse construction cost benchmarks for investors — Saudi Arabia
- commercial greenhouse construction cost under local market conditions — Mexico
- commercial greenhouse construction cost — what to specify in a supplier RFQ
Method and decision path
How to use this result in a commercial project
Use the result to test scope and compare scenarios. It is not a design, agronomic prescription, financing offer or supplier quotation.
1. Enter site evidence
Replace defaults with measured area, climate, water, energy, crop and commercial assumptions.
2. Test scenarios
Change one assumption at a time and record the effect on capacity, cost, demand or return.
3. Validate the duty
Ask the relevant agronomist, engineer or financial adviser to check the inputs and constraints.
4. Prepare a private RFQ
Carry the confirmed scope into a human-reviewed brief so written offers can be compared on the same basis.
Final specifications, performance, prices, supplier participation and timing depend on the site and written supplier responses; none is guaranteed by this calculator.
Plan the project around the numbers

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

Editorial · not a sales pitchCalculator outputs are indicative. When your numbers stabilise, a supplier-neutral RFQ turns those estimates into a consistent brief for comparing the written offers that participating suppliers provide.
The facts a complete, supplier-neutral request on this topic includes. Use it as a checklist before submitting.
- The scale you modelled (m², ha, t/h or units) and the CAPEX band it produced
- Which cost lines are in scope for the supplier and which you handle locally
- Specification level: basic, mid-tech or high-tech / fully automated
