Request commercial seed supply

Share the crop, seed type or requested variety, commercial quantity, growing conditions, destination and planting window. A sourcing specialist reviews your brief before any supplier search; variety, stock, pricing and delivery remain subject to verification. This request covers seeds and planting inputs, not harvested vegetables or fruit.

Direct answer

How do I request a commercial seed and project quotation?

Submit a private seed brief with crop, seed type, quantity or area, climate, planting window and destination. A sourcing specialist reviews it, confirms scope and manages any subsequent supplier search and quotations. Submitting a brief does not confirm availability or a purchase.

  • Supplier contact is managed by SeedMatchGroup after human review, not automatically on submission.
  • A sourcing specialist reviews qualified briefs and confirms the next steps; response timing depends on the request and available information.
  • Relevant for professional commercial programmes from USD 250K.
  • Quotations are normalised so variety, packaging, certification and Incoterms are comparable.

Free for buyers. Requests are reviewed from USD 250,000 in total project value; qualified suppliers pay. Have ready: crop and variety, lot size, required certificates, phytosanitary/import permit status, destination, sowing season and delivery window. Seed lot RFQ buyer guide

What seed and input buyers usually need answered before relying on a quote

Industry hypothesis — drawn from common patterns in commercial seed and agricultural-input buying, not from a SeedMatchGroup customer survey.

Before comparing seed or input offers, confirm six things: fit for your climate, season, soil and market; written availability and lead time; lot quality documents; import and use rules at destination; the full delivered cost; and how you will test performance on your own site. A brief that separates your assumptions from confirmed facts gets more comparable answers.

Fit for climate, season, soil and market

Will this variety or input suit my site and buyers?

What a source can verify
No public source verifies fit for a specific farm. A variety description states the breeder's own claims and test conditions.
What you provide (your assumption)
Region, climate, sowing window, soil or water test, production system and the market grade you sell into.
Still needs confirmation
Supplier's regional performance data in writing; a sample or trial on your own site.

Availability and lead time

Can it arrive before my sowing date?

What a source can verify
No public source: stock and lead time exist only in a supplier's written offer, for its stated validity period.
What you provide (your assumption)
Quantity, packaging, delivery window and latest acceptable arrival date.
Still needs confirmation
Written stock confirmation, lead time from order to shipment and offer validity.

Quality and documentation

Is the seed lot what the paperwork says?

What a source can verify
Seed lot certificates issued under the ISTA Rules report laboratory results for a sample tested on a stated date. ISTA International Rules for Seed Testing
What you provide (your assumption)
Minimum germination, purity, moisture, treatment and the certificate type you require.
Still needs confirmation
Certificate per lot, test date, laboratory and lot numbers matching the shipment.

Import and use rules

Will the shipment be admitted and may I use it?

What a source can verify
Each importing country's national plant protection organization sets its phytosanitary import requirements; the IPPC lists official contact points. IPPC national plant protection organizations
What you provide (your assumption)
Destination country, port, importer of record and your permit status.
Still needs confirmation
The destination authority (import permit, phytosanitary conditions, variety registration where required). SeedMatchGroup does not determine eligibility.

Total delivered cost

What will it really cost at my farm?

What a source can verify
Incoterms® rules allocate delivery tasks, costs and risks between seller and buyer; they do not set freight, duty or handling amounts. ICC Incoterms® rules
What you provide (your assumption)
Target Incoterm, budget and your freight, duty and local-handling assumptions.
Still needs confirmation
Supplier quote on the same Incoterm plus freight forwarder and customs broker figures.

Yield and performance risk

What if the expected yield does not materialize?

What a source can verify
National average yields describe country-level results, not what one farm will achieve. National crop yields (FAO data)
What you provide (your assumption)
Your expected yield and the management assumptions behind it.
Still needs confirmation
Your own trials and records; any supplier figure is a projection, not a commitment.

SeedMatchGroup does not guarantee germination, yield, crop performance, import approval, compliance, supplier quality or profitability.

Requesting a quotation — frequently asked questions

Yes. Submitting a brief and receiving comparable quotations is free for buyers. Where a project proceeds, SeedMatchGroup may receive a commercial fee from the selected supplier, which never influences which suppliers are shortlisted.

There is no guaranteed response or quotation time. A sourcing specialist reviews qualified briefs first, and timing then depends on crop, destination, volume, documentation, supplier availability and whether the specification is complete.

Crop and variety type, target hectares or required volume, growing system such as open field or greenhouse, planting window, destination country and port, and any certification, treatment or packaging requirements. The more precise the brief, the more comparable the offers.

No. A seed lot certificate reports laboratory results for a sample tested on a stated date; field emergence and yield also depend on climate, soil, storage and management. Import permits and phytosanitary conditions are decided by the destination authority. Your brief records your figures as your own assumptions and lists what still needs supplier or authority confirmation.

No. All communication runs through your sourcing specialist. SeedMatchGroup never publishes buyer details to suppliers or supplier details to buyers, which keeps the comparison neutral and protects both sides during negotiation.

Commercial programmes from roughly USD 250,000 in total project value are the core focus, covering seed supply, greenhouse, irrigation and processing scopes. Retail or hobby-scale orders are outside the platform's scope.
