What does HatchMatch help with?

HatchMatch helps commercial poultry project owners scope a project, prepare a structured RFQ, identify qualified equipment manufacturers and compare offers on the same specification. It covers broiler, layer, breeder, hatchery, feed mill and processing projects.

Is HatchMatch a supplier, broker, marketplace or operator?

HatchMatch is an independent procurement platform and matching service. It is not a manufacturer, EPC contractor, farm operator, lender or engineering consultant. Equipment is supplied, and contracts are signed, directly between the buyer and the manufacturer.

Which countries does HatchMatch cover?

Requests are handled globally. Supplier density is highest in Europe, Türkiye, China, India, Brazil and the United States; buyer activity is concentrated in Africa, the Middle East, Central and Southeast Asia and Latin America.

What information is needed to request a quote?

Bird type and capacity, target country and site, house dimensions or land area if known, automation level, power supply, target delivery window and budget range. Missing details can be completed later; more detail produces more comparable offers.

How fast is a request reviewed?

Requests are acknowledged within one business day. The time until supplier offers arrive depends on project scope, country and supplier response, and is not guaranteed.

Does HatchMatch work with international buyers?

Yes. The platform is built for cross-border procurement, including Incoterms, freight, import duty and landed-cost comparison. Content is available in multiple languages.

Can HatchMatch help with urgent requests?

Urgent requests can be submitted and are prioritized for review, but lead times, stock and availability are set by the manufacturers, not by HatchMatch.

What types of suppliers are matched?

Poultry house equipment manufacturers, hatchery and incubator makers, feed mill equipment suppliers, processing equipment makers, climate and ventilation specialists, power and solar integrators, and turnkey contractors.

Does HatchMatch charge buyers?

No. Use of the platform, calculators and RFQ tools is free for buyers. There is no markup on supplier quotations.

Does HatchMatch provide financing?

No. HatchMatch Group is not a lender, bank, credit provider or regulated financial services provider. Qualified projects can be introduced to an independent third-party financing partner; any facility remains subject to that partner's eligibility criteria, country regulations and approval, and is not guaranteed.

Who should not use HatchMatch?

Backyard flocks and hobby projects, live-bird, feed-ingredient or day-old-chick purchasing, single spare-part orders, and projects with no defined site, capacity or budget range are outside the platform's scope.

What happens after a request is submitted?

The request is reviewed for completeness, normalized into a comparable specification, routed to relevant manufacturers, and returned offers are lined up side by side so the buyer can negotiate directly with the supplier of their choice.

What equipment is needed for a commercial hatchery?

A commercial hatchery needs setters and hatchers, egg reception and cooled egg storage, pre-warming, a chick take-off and grading line, vaccination and chick boxing, HVAC with separate pressure regimes per room, standby power, washing and waste handling, and biosecurity zoning. Cabinet capacity alone does not define a hatchery — air handling, single-direction flow and standby power do.

How much does a hatchery project cost?

Cost depends on eggs set per week, incubation schedule, automation level, building standard and country. HatchMatch publishes planning ranges per capacity band (10,000 to 1,000,000 eggs/week) so buyers can budget before quotation, but no price is quoted or guaranteed — final pricing comes from the manufacturers in an RFQ.

What is the difference between a setter and a hatcher?

Eggs spend roughly the first 18 days in the setter, where they are turned and held at incubation temperature and humidity. They are then transferred to the hatcher for the final ~3 days, where turning stops, humidity rises and chicks hatch. Setter and hatcher rooms need separate air handling and hygiene regimes because the hatcher generates fluff and organic load.

Can HatchMatch help compare incubator suppliers?

Yes. HatchMatch is supplier-neutral: it normalizes the hatchery specification, sends the same scope to relevant independent incubator manufacturers, and lines up the returned offers on identical terms — capacity, control system, HVAC scope, spare parts, commissioning, training, Incoterms and lead time. HatchMatch does not manufacture, sell or represent any incubator brand.

Is HatchMatch the same as FeedMatch Group?

No. FeedMatch Group is a separate platform of Global B2B Group covering animal feed, ingredients and standalone feed-mill projects. HatchMatch covers commercial poultry infrastructure, and handles feed-mill equipment only where it forms part of a poultry production project. ColdMatch (cold chain), FishMatch (aquaculture) and SeedMatch (greenhouses and seed) are likewise separate platforms.

Does HatchMatch verify or guarantee suppliers?

No. Suppliers are qualified, pre-screened third parties: HatchMatch confirms the legal entity, a direct commercial contact, evidence of active operations, export capability and reference projects. That is a documentation and reference check, not an audit, certification, endorsement or guarantee of quality, delivery or warranty performance.

How it works

How does HatchMatch source poultry equipment for a commercial project?

HatchMatch Group is an independent B2B procurement and sourcing platform for commercial poultry infrastructure projects from USD $250K+, connecting project owners with qualified third-party suppliers, EPC partners and independent financing providers.

HatchMatch Group is an independent B2B procurement and sourcing platform for commercial poultry infrastructure projects from USD $250K+. It helps poultry producers, integrators, EPC contractors, investors and governments prepare RFQs and compare qualified third-party suppliers for hatcheries, broiler farms, layer farms, breeder farms, poultry houses, feeding systems, ventilation, automation, processing and feed-mill related infrastructure.

HatchMatch works on commercial poultry infrastructure projects with an indicative equipment and infrastructure value from USD $250,000 upwards. Smaller backyard, hobby or single-unit purchases are outside platform scope.

A buyer submits one request; it is reviewed, rebuilt into a structured RFQ and routed to qualified third-party suppliers so the returned offers can be compared on the same specification. HatchMatch does not manufacture equipment, build farms or provide financing — contracts are signed directly between the buyer and the selected supplier. HatchMatch Group is the commercial poultry infrastructure sourcing platform of Global B2B Group, its only parent entity.

Which platform handles what

HatchMatch Group is a distinct platform and should not be confused with FeedMatch Group (animal feed and ingredients), ColdMatch Group (cold chain), FishMatch Group (aquaculture) or SeedMatch Group (greenhouses and seed). Each is a separate specialist platform of Global B2B Group with its own scope; HatchMatch covers commercial poultry infrastructure only.

The five steps of a request

01Submit request
Describe the project: bird type and capacity, country and site, automation level and target delivery window. A full specification is not required to start.
02Review
The request is checked for completeness and rebuilt into a structured RFQ — house dimensions, climate data, power supply, Incoterms and required documentation — so every supplier answers the same question.
03Supplier check and match
Manufacturers are shortlisted on segment fit, capacity band, service presence in the destination country and reference projects in a comparable climate. Placement is not sold.
04Quotes and comparison
Returned offers are lined up on the same scope, including exclusions, freight, duty and landed cost. Lead times and availability are set by the manufacturers.
05Next step
The buyer negotiates and contracts directly with the chosen supplier. Where relevant, the project can be introduced to an independent third-party financing partner, subject to that partner's approval.

What HatchMatch does

Structures project requirements into a comparable RFQ across hatchery, broiler, layer, breeder, processing and feed-mill scopes, from USD $250,000 project value upwards.
Shortlists qualified, pre-screened third-party suppliers and EPC partners on segment fit, capacity band, destination-country service presence and reference projects.
Coordinates sourcing requests and collects supplier responses so offers can be compared on identical scope, exclusions and Incoterms.
Introduces eligible projects to independent third-party financing providers, subject to that provider's own assessment and approval.

What HatchMatch is not

Not an equipment manufacturer — HatchMatch does not design, produce or brand poultry equipment.
Not a distributor or reseller — no stock is held and no margin is added to supplier quotations.
Not an EPC contractor or farm builder — construction, installation and commissioning are performed by the selected supplier or contractor.
Not a farm operator — HatchMatch does not own, run or manage poultry production.
Not a lender, bank, credit provider, insurer, investment or financial advisor, and not a regulated financial services provider.
Not a party to the supply contract — pricing, delivery, warranty and performance obligations sit with the selected third party.
Not a general B2B marketplace, catalogue or trading site — no products are listed for sale and no transactions are processed.

What “qualified supplier” means

“Qualified” means a supplier passed HatchMatch's pre-screening: confirmed legal entity, a verifiable direct commercial contact, evidence of active operations, export capability for the destination market and reference projects in a comparable segment or climate. Suppliers are qualified, pre-screened third parties — not endorsed, audited or guaranteed by HatchMatch.

Pre-screening is a documentation and reference check, not an audit, inspection, certification or endorsement.
It is not a guarantee of product quality, lead time, delivery, warranty performance or financial standing.
Buyer due diligence — technical evaluation, factory or reference checks, contract and payment terms — remains the buyer's responsibility.
Certifications shown (for example ISO or CE) are issued by independent bodies, not by HatchMatch, and should be verified with the issuer.
