To buy seeds for your store, first define the crops, pack sizes and quantities you need, then compare sellers’ offers on the same basis. Before paying, get confirmation of availability, order contents, product documents and the full delivery cost. This will help you assess whether a particular shipment suits your assortment and budget.
Below is a comparison of Ukrainian stores and professional suppliers based on their official pages. Retail packets of seeds and sowing material for farms require different purchasing approaches: the crops, pack sizes and order approval process vary. You can adapt the suggested ways of working to the needs of your store.
Seed stores for gardens and vegetable plots
Agro-Market — seeds and related gardening products
The Agro-Market catalog includes vegetable, flower, herb and other seeds, seedlings, bulbs, fertilizers and garden tools. Seeds are offered in different pack formats; some product names specify the quantity in grams or pieces. The store says it sells both wholesale and retail, so you can ask for a separate quote for the quantity you need.
According to the store’s official answers, orders are delivered by Nova Poshta and Ukrposhta, and the cost depends on the order value and parcel contents. Before purchasing, check whether delivery is available to your location, the dispatch time and whether the entire list can be shipped together. For a mixed order of seeds, seedlings and bulbs, confirm the packaging and shipping arrangements separately.
Florium — seeds alongside ornamental plants
Florium offers flower and vegetable seeds, bulbs, perennials, seedlings and plant care products. This range may suit a garden store that complements seed sales with ornamental plants. The product listings state the number of plants or bulbs in each pack; check the pack size for each seed product.
Florium’s shipping terms are described on the delivery page. Flower and vegetable seeds are shipped throughout the year, while shipping for many plant categories depends on the planting season. If you order them together, ask whether the seeds will be shipped separately. Check the minimum order amount, shipping cost, and available payment method for the actual cart; agree on the terms for regular purchases for resale with a manager.
“Professional Seeds” — orders through Semena.in.ua
The online store of TM “Professional Seeds” describes the minimum order and prepayment terms on its payment and delivery page. The website requires full prepayment for bulbs, onions, garlic, seedlings, and potatoes; prepayment terms for other orders may depend on the order value. Before paying, confirm with a manager which rules apply to the assortment and volume of your specific purchase.
The store describes delivery by Nova Poshta and Ukrposhta at the customer’s expense, pickup points in Kyiv and cashless payment for businesses against an invoice with VAT (value-added tax). For seed purchases, ask for a list of available crops, producers and pack sizes, as well as confirmation of the number of packets in the shipping package. If you add live planting material, agree on payment for the full order and inspect the parcel on receipt.
Sezon — seeds and products for growing
The Sezon catalog includes seeds and seedlings, fertilizers, substrates, irrigation systems, covering materials, seedling supplies and garden tools. Listings include seeds with quantities specified in grams or by seed count, as well as lawn grass sold by weight.
You can consider the store for purchasing related products along with seeds. Before paying, check what the listed price covers: one packet, a specified weight or another quantity. Ask separately about minimum purchase quantities, terms for businesses and dispatch time. Verify any advertised delivery offer for large orders against the terms for your specific basket.
“Zernyatko” — vegetables, flowers, greens and specialist categories
“Zernyatko” has sections for seeds of vegetables, flowers, spice plants, leafy greens and lettuces, as well as green manure crops, forage crops and lawn grass. The site also has a professional seed category and garden products. The store says it sells wholesale and retail, delivers by Nova Poshta and Ukrposhta, and accepts online card payments or cash on delivery.
To expand your assortment, you can request a selection based on specific customer needs, such as greens for growing at home or flower seeds for garden beds. Before purchasing, check the producer, variety or hybrid, pack size and packaging labels. Agree separately on wholesale pricing, the minimum order and documents for the specific batch.
Professional suppliers serving farms
If your customers order seeds for field crops, specify the crop, exact variety or hybrid name, required quantity and packaging format in your supplier inquiry. For this assortment, it is especially important to agree on the unit of sale: by weight or by a sowing unit containing a specified quantity of seed.
Eridon — field crops and professional purchase volumes
The Eridon seed catalog includes corn, sunflower, rapeseed, wheat, barley, soybeans, sorghum, sugar beet, forage grasses and other field crops. The company describes wholesale and retail sales starting at 50 kg or one sowing unit, as well as packing its own seeds in sacks or big bags.
For a purchase, confirm with the local office whether the required variety or hybrid is available, what the sowing unit contains, where you can collect it and how delivery works. If you plan to resell the seeds, ask separately about cooperation terms for your store and documents for the offered batch. The agronomic support the company advertises may provide an opportunity to consult on your customer’s needs, but check each product’s specifications separately.
AgroPlant — sunflower, corn and rapeseed seeds
AgroPlant offers sunflower, corn and rapeseed seeds, micronutrient fertilizers and plant protection products. Its sunflower catalog is divided, among other things, by growing technology. The company says it accepts wholesale and retail orders and offers prepayment or cash on delivery, pickup from warehouses in Kirovohrad region, and delivery of large orders using its own transport.
Before ordering, confirm the exact seed pack size, minimum quantity, stock on hand and actual dispatch time. The site’s rule that agrochemicals are sold only in factory packaging does not specify seed pack sizes. For resale, ask for a written offer listing the products, quantities, documents and agreed delivery terms.
“Yablukom” — sowing material and advice for farmers
“Yablukom” serves farmers and offers sunflower, corn, wheat, barley and other field crop seeds, fertilizers and plant protection products. The site describes consultations with agronomists and says orders can be placed through the website, by phone or via Viber.
When purchasing, share the customer’s exact requirements with the consultant and request specifications for the proposed product. For each item, confirm the pack size, price per full pack, and payment and delivery arrangements. If your store plans to supply seeds to farmers regularly, agree separately on repeat-order terms and the list of supporting documents.
How to check a supplier before your first purchase
One way to check suppliers is to send the same inquiry to several sellers and compare their written replies. State in the inquiry that you are buying for resale so the manager can clarify the relevant terms. For a first order, you could choose a quantity that lets you check the delivery contents and paperwork without building up excess stock.
- Prepare a precise product list. For each item, note the crop, variety or hybrid, producer, pack size and quantity needed. Do not approve a substitute without checking that it meets your customers’ needs.
- Ask for batch details. Request photos of the labels, the batch number and any dates shown on the packaging. Check documents and quality indicators against the specific product offered for shipment.
- Agree on the order unit. Find out whether you can buy individual packets or whether the supplier ships only in multiples of a box. For a sowing unit, confirm what it contains.
- Calculate the total cost. Add delivery, packaging and payment fees, if applicable. Confirm what documents the seller will provide to your business.
- Agree how discrepancies will be handled. Before paying, confirm whom to notify about shortages, damage or incorrect pack sizes, what evidence to provide and how the seller will review the claim.
Hypothetical example: a store buys 100 packets at UAH 20 each and pays UAH 200 for delivery. The total cost is UAH 2,200, or UAH 22 per packet. If the assumed selling price is UAH 30, the difference is UAH 8 per packet before other costs. This calculation does not show net profit: the entrepreneur must account for their own expenses and the actual quantity sold.
How to receive a shipment and prepare seeds for sale
You can assign one employee to check incoming goods against the agreed list: they can verify names, pack sizes, quantities and packaging condition. Photograph any discrepancies and send them to the supplier along with the order number. Set disputed items aside until the issue is resolved so they are not accidentally sold to a customer.
For inventory management, you can create separate product entries for different pack sizes of the same item. For example, in a hypothetical assortment, the same tomato variety in 0.5 g and 1 g packets would have two product records. If your store sells unopened packets, tracking stock by packet is convenient, with the contents’ weight included in the description. Ask the supplier for the manufacturer’s storage instructions and arrange the products accordingly.
How to manage seed inventory in Torgsoft
In Torgsoft, you can build a product type tree to search and filter your assortment. One possible setup for a store is a “Seeds” group with “Vegetables,” “Flowers” and “Greens” subgroups. A product card includes fields for product type, producer, description, SKU, barcode, purchase and selling prices, and quantity. You configure the availability and required status of the relevant attributes in the product type; you can specify the pack size in the description. For sealed packets, consider agreeing on tracking by item and a unit of measure that matches how the product is sold.
You can create a product card while recording incoming goods so the item is immediately added to the goods receipt document and inventory balance. The employee enters the actual number of packages and purchase price, while the entrepreneur sets the selling price. The minimum stock field also appears on the supplier order form and can help you check when stock needs replenishing. According to the official overview of features, the software supports receiving, selling, transferring, writing off and returning goods; you can identify items by the manufacturer’s barcode or your own code.
If you need to distinguish receipts in your records, product types support batch tracking: enable it in the additional settings; a product SKU is required. Generating a separate custom barcode for each batch depends on the relevant setting. This record-keeping setup helps keep product entries separate, but staff must independently check the seed’s origin, label compliance and documents. Before applying these settings to the whole assortment, you can try them on a few items using the linked instructions.
