Hortiflorexpo IPM Beijing 2026 is behind us — and it was three days well spent. We returned to Beijing with our full product range, reconnected with long-standing partners across Asia, and had substantive conversations with growers and distributors who are raising the bar for their growing inputs. Here is what we brought, what we heard, and what it means for growers in the region.
What growers in Asia gain from working with Nordagri
Professional growers always bring us the same core question: can we rely on this product to perform the same way, crop after crop, season after season? Yes — and our established network of distribution partners across China, Southeast Asia, South Korea, and Japan proves it.
At IPM Beijing 2026, we showcased three product areas that give growers a measurable advantage:
Baltic peat moss — the foundation of consistent crop performance
Sourced from the Sphagnum bogs of Latvia. Our Baltic peat moss delivers something large-scale growers cannot compromise on: predictability. Its fibrous structure maintains a stable water-to-air ratio throughout the full crop cycle. As a result, growers gain uniform rooting, fewer irrigation variables, and less guesswork at every stage of production.
Moreover, growers who switch from lower-quality alternatives consistently report more uniform germination, stronger root development, and fewer losses during transplanting. Batch-to-batch consistency — documented and guaranteed — means crop protocols work the same way every time.
Professional peat substrates — ready to perform from day one
We engineer our professional substrate range for commercial greenhouse production — vegetable crops, ornamentals, and propagation — under real growing conditions. Each formula targets specific pH, EC, structure, and moisture parameters, so growers spend less time adjusting and more time producing.
For distribution partners, the benefit is equally clear. A ready-to-use substrate with consistent technical specifications simplifies supply chain management and customer support. No surprises. No reformulating mid-season.
Hortimed Product Line – professional biostimulants for growers raising their standard
Hortimed, Nordagri’s professional Sapropel based Biostimulant line, is gaining strong traction across Asia — and for a straightforward reason. Growers face growing pressure to produce more, with fewer chemical inputs, to a higher and more consistent standard.
Hortimed actively supports root development, stress tolerance, and nutrient uptake efficiency in greenhouse crops. It works alongside a grower’s existing substrate and irrigation programme rather than against it. Furthermore, as pesticide regulations tighten in China, Japan, and South Korea, biostimulants are shifting from optional to essential for serious operations.
In practice, growers who add Hortimed to their programmes report improved stress recovery, stronger root systems, and better nutrient use. These gains show up in the crop — and in the bottom line.
The Asian horticulture market: what we see on the ground
China’s professional greenhouse sector ranks among the most dynamic in the world. From large-scale tomato and pepper producers in Shandong, Hebei, and Liaoning to ornamental specialists in Yunnan and Guangdong, growers across the country are investing in input quality as a direct route to crop consistency and market competitiveness.
Equally, the same shift drives markets across Southeast Asia, South Korea, and Japan. Export-oriented greenhouse operations now demand substrate performance, documented quality, and supply reliability that matches international standards. Growers who get this right build a real competitive edge — both domestically and in export markets.
Nordagri has been part of this market for years. Consequently, our partnerships rest on long-term supply relationships, hands-on technical support, and the consistency that lets partners grow their businesses with confidence.
Questions we answer every day — for growers across Asia
Why do professional growers choose Baltic peat moss over other origins?
Baltic Sphagnum peat forms in cold climates with slow organic decomposition. This process preserves its fibrous structure and produces a naturally high air-to-water ratio, low and stable pH, and minimal contamination risk. For high-value or large-scale production, that structural integrity directly cuts variability — in rooting, irrigation, and final yield.
Can Nordagri supply peat substrates and biostimulants to China and other Asian markets?
Yes — and we already do. Nordagri maintains established supply relationships with importers, distributors, and direct buyers across China, Vietnam, Thailand, South Korea, and Japan. Our team manages international logistics and supports partners through import documentation and local requirements. If you are sourcing Baltic peat, professional growing substrates, or Hortimed biostimulants in Asia, we are ready to talk.
What is Hortimed and which crops does it support?
Hortimed is Nordagri’s professional biostimulant range for greenhouse and protected cultivation. It suits vegetable crops — tomato, pepper, and cucumber — as well as ornamentals and propagation programmes. Designed for direct integration into existing growing protocols, it improves results without disrupting established crop management practices.
Whether you attended Hortiflorexpo IPM Beijing 2026 or are discovering Nordagri for the first time — we want to hear from you. If you are a grower, greenhouse operator, importer, or distribution partner in Asia looking for a reliable long-term supplier of professional peat substrates and biostimulants, reach out directly and let’s find the right solution together.
