Minimum Order Quantity

From our various production sites in the Netherlands, BVB Substrates supplies tailor-made, high-quality growing media to professional growers in more than 100 countries worldwide. One question we are frequently asked is why we apply a Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ). We are happy to explain the reasoning behind this.

Substrate and cultivation performance

Our substrates are often tailored to the performance you want to achieve in your cultivation. Think of desired properties such as:

  • the right amount of air in the root environment,
  • sufficient stability of the mixture,
  • optimal water buffer and easy availability of moisture,
  • good water absorption capacity,
  • and balanced drainage.

The mixing process

To achieve this, we blend different raw materials and fertilisers in the right order and proportion on specially equipped mixing lines in our production facilities. This is not only about volume, but also about accurately adding fertilisers in complex combinations.

The mixing line consists of several raw material bunkers spread over a long distance. During the production process, fertilisers are added in stages while the line is already running. As a result, part of the substrate has already been processed, while not all the additives have yet been fully added and mixed. Only after a short start-up phase is the mixing line properly set up and calibrated.

For this reason, we apply a Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) to ensure reliable and consistent quality.
