Greenhouse & Agriculture Procurement
How to request quotes for greenhouse and irrigation projects
Short answer
To request comparable greenhouse and irrigation quotations, define covered area, crop and growing system, local climate data, water source and quality, energy supply and automation level. Global B2B Group structures those inputs into one documented request, reviews it manually, and routes reviewed horticulture briefs to SeedMatch Group.
What this covers
- Commercial greenhouses and controlled-environment structures
- Irrigation, fertigation and water treatment systems
- Hydroponic systems, nurseries and propagation facilities
- Climate control, screens, lighting and heating
- Automation, sensors and smart agriculture systems
- Agricultural machinery and related farm infrastructure
What to define before quotations can be compared
1.Area and structure
Covered area in square metres, structure type, gutter height and phasing plan.
2.Crop and system
Crop or crop rotation, growing system (soil, substrate, hydroponic), and target production pattern.
3.Climate
Site location and local climate data — temperature extremes, light levels, wind and snow load.
4.Water and nutrition
Water source, quality and availability, drainage or recirculation requirement, and fertigation approach.
5.Energy and automation
Available power and heat source, plus the level of climate and irrigation automation required.
6.Scope boundary
Structure only, systems only, or turnkey including civil works, installation and commissioning.

What happens after you submit
Requesting a quotation through Global B2B Group is free and creates no obligation. Every serious request is reviewed by a person, missing technical or commercial information is raised with the buyer, and suitable suppliers or partners are researched only after that review. Buyers are not connected to suppliers automatically, buyer information is not published, and no supplier is approved, ranked or recommended automatically. No proposal, price, availability, timeline or outcome is promised.
Where financing is mentioned
Global B2B Group and its specialist platforms are not banks, lenders or financial advisers. Eligible projects may be introduced to independent financing or export-credit partners where relevant. Any assessment, terms, approval and commitment remain solely with those independent organizations.

Frequently asked questions
- Can these tools estimate crop yield?
- No. No tool here produces agronomic conclusions, yield forecasts or nutrition plans. Outputs are preliminary cost and capacity planning estimates only.
- What if the greenhouse is planned in phases?
- Describe the phasing. The request is structured so that responses can address phase one and the options for later phases separately.
- What does it cost a buyer to request quotations?
- Nothing. Preparing and submitting a request is free for buyers, and submitting one creates no obligation to proceed.
- Will my request be sent to suppliers automatically?
- No. The request is reviewed by a person first. Supplier or partner research is considered only after that review, and any introduction is a controlled step decided by Global B2B Group — never an automatic broadcast of your project to a supplier list.
- What happens if my scope is still incomplete?
- That is normal at this stage. The review identifies which technical and commercial details are missing, and those points are raised with you before anything is taken further.
