Build Your Feed Buyer Profile and Generate a Tailored RFQ
Farms, integrators, cooperatives and distributors: enter species, monthly volume, destination country and feed type. FeedMatch turns the profile into a supplier-ready request built on the same requirement-first method used for every feed matching project.
2. Your tailored RFQ
Still needed for a supplier-ready request: Species, Production stage, Monthly volume in tonnes, Destination country, Feed type.
REQUEST FOR QUOTATION — ANIMAL FEED SUPPLY Buyer type: Commercial farm Species: — Production stage: — Feed type: — Volume: — tonnes/month Supply mode: Recurring monthly supply Destination: — Packaging: Bulk (silo / tanker) Incoterm: CIF Required start: Within 1–3 months SPECIFICATION AND REQUIREMENTS Please quote against your standard specification for this species and stage, and state the guaranteed analysis. SUPPLIERS ARE ASKED TO CONFIRM 1. Guaranteed analysis: crude protein, crude fat, crude fibre, ash, moisture, ME/DE energy basis. 2. Ingredient declaration and any restricted materials (animal by-products, GMO status, medications). 3. Unit price with the Incoterm above, price validity period and currency. 4. Minimum order quantity, lot size and production lead time. 5. Delivery schedule feasibility for the monthly volume stated. 6. Packaging, labelling, palletisation and shelf life. 7.

COMPARISON BASIS Offers will be compared on landed cost at the destination stated above, specification compliance and delivery reliability — not on list price alone.
FeedMatch is supplier-neutral and does not manufacture or sell feed. The same RFQ goes to every shortlisted supplier so offers can be compared on landed cost, specification compliance and delivery reliability.
Buyer profile FAQ
What is a feed buyer profile?
A feed buyer profile is the minimum set of facts suppliers need before they can price feed: buyer type, species, production stage, monthly tonnage, destination country and delivery point, feed type, packaging and Incoterm. FeedMatch turns that profile into one standardized RFQ sent to every shortlisted supplier.
How much volume information do suppliers need?
State monthly tonnage and whether the requirement is recurring, annual-contract, spot or tender. Annual volume determines whether a supplier can commit production capacity and what price band applies; without it, quotations are indicative only and cannot be compared reliably.
Does the destination country change the quotation?
Yes. Destination drives freight, duty, port handling, permitted ingredients, labelling and required certifications, so the same specification can differ substantially in landed cost between two markets. Always state the destination country and the delivery point before requesting prices.
Which feed type should be requested?
Choose complete pelleted, mash, crumble or extruded feed when buying finished feed; concentrate or premix when blending on-farm; raw ingredients when running an own mill. The feed type determines which suppliers can quote and how the offers must be compared.
