For Solution Providers: How Reviewed Agricultural Projects Reach You
Solution providers submit a capability record: products, crops, project-size and region scope, and technical documentation. When a buyer's commercial project has been scoped and reviewed by SeedMatchGroup, and fits that record, the team may invite the provider to respond to a structured RFQ. There are no guaranteed leads, no public directory and no direct buyer contact.
SeedMatchGroup works on the buyer side of commercial greenhouse, irrigation and controlled-environment projects. This page explains, for companies selling to those buyers, what we review, what buyers actually specify, and how to prepare.
Scope: commercial growers, agribusinesses, investors and public programmes, with capital projects from USD 250,000. Home-garden, DIY and retail drip or hydroponic kits are outside scope.
Who this page is for
- Greenhouse builders and structure manufacturers
- Climate-control, screening and automation vendors
- Irrigation, fertigation and water-treatment providers
- Seed, young-plant and fertilizer companies
- Ag-IoT, sensor and farm-software suppliers
How a managed RFQ runs
- The buyer defines the project: crop, site, area, climate, timeline and budget band.
- SeedMatchGroup reviews the brief and clarifies gaps. Projects below scope are declined.
- Where the scope fits, the team selects providers whose capability records match.
- Invited providers quote one anonymised, structured specification.
- SeedMatchGroup normalises responses for the buyer. Communication stays managed throughout.
What to submit
- Products and services by discipline, with data sheets
- Crops and climates where your systems already operate
- Project-size range and regions you can deliver and service
- Technical documentation: drawings, certificates and standards held, stated accurately
- Installation, commissioning, training, spares and after-sales arrangements
- Lead times, Incoterms experience and working languages
What this is not
- Not a lead-selling service, and no number of RFQs is promised
- Not a public supplier directory, ranking or paid placement
- Buyer contact details are not shared; there is no direct buyer-provider contact
- Not a certification of your products or claims
What buyers actually specify
These guides show the decisions buyers make before an RFQ is issued. Reading them helps you prepare documents that answer the brief.
| Project area | What the buyer defines |
|---|---|
| Commercial greenhouse planning | Crop, climate, covered area, production window and structure type |
| Climate control | Zones, actuators, heating and cooling scope, sensors and controls |
| Drip irrigation by crop (tomato example) | Emitter spacing, flow, filtration and water quality for the crop |
| Fertigation | Dosing method, EC/pH control, recirculation and water analysis |
| Seeds | Crop, segment, traits, target market and growing conditions |
| Fertilizers | Grades, annual volume, delivery terms and documents |
| IoT and monitoring | Sensor density, connectivity, data ownership and alarms |
| CAPEX and ROI | Budget band, quotation basis and the buyer's own operating figures |

Calculators buyers use
Each calculator shows its assumptions and lets the user change every input. Results are scenarios, not quotes or crop forecasts.
Questions solution providers ask
- Does SeedMatchGroup guarantee leads?
- No. Providers are invited only when a reviewed buyer project fits their capability record. No volume of RFQs is promised.
- Can we contact the buyer directly?
- No. Briefs are anonymised and all clarification runs through SeedMatchGroup until the buyer takes the project forward.
- Is there a fee or paid placement?
- No. Capability registration is free and selection is based on specification fit.
- What project size is relevant?
- Capital projects from USD 250,000. Recurring seed or fertilizer supply linked to commercial production may be reviewed separately.
- Do you serve home-garden or DIY drip irrigation?
- No. SeedMatchGroup handles commercial greenhouse and field agriculture projects only.
