2006
Experience since
The work and experience behind Zelenberg began in the agricultural sector in 2006.
Zelenberg is a specialized B2B marketplace for agricultural inputs and equipment from China.
AgriTraders use Zelenberg to explore products and factory profiles, submit purchase requests (RFQs), and compare the responses they receive.
Manufacturers in China use the platform to present what they produce and respond to relevant demand from international buyers.

01 — Why we built it
Buyers of agricultural inputs from China need more than product listings.
Products in this industry come with important details. Specifications, applications, packaging, production capabilities, standards, and delivery terms can all influence a purchasing decision.
A focused marketplace
Built around the needs of this industry
We built Zelenberg to give AgriTraders a focused place to explore these products, learn about the manufacturers behind them, and submit clear purchase requests. Manufacturers can present what they produce and respond to requests that are relevant to their products and capabilities.
Useful after the request
A marketplace that remains useful after the purchase request
Submitting a purchase request is often only the beginning. When an order moves forward, a buyer may need a factory visit, a sample from production, a progress report, laboratory coordination, a pre-shipment report, or a record of container loading. These services are available through Zelenberg when they are needed. They are not part of every transaction, and the buyer chooses whether to use them.
Zelenberg is more than a place to display products. It is a specialized marketplace with practical services and industry knowledge available alongside it.
02 — What makes Zelenberg useful
Clear information, organized requests, and an independent role.
Zelenberg is designed to give buyers and manufacturers a clearer way to work through the early stages of an international order.
On-site information
Factory information collected on site
Every factory listed on Zelenberg has been visited by our team on a recorded date. The factory profile is prepared using the information, photographs, and observations collected during that visit. It gives buyers a closer look at the manufacturer’s facilities, equipment, production environment, and capabilities. The information reflects what our team observed on the date of the visit. It is a record, not an approval, certification, recommendation, or guarantee from Zelenberg.
Structured process
Purchase requests kept in one place
AgriTraders can submit a Direct RFQ for a product they have already selected, or an Open RFQ when they want to compare suitable responses. Manufacturers reply through the platform, and the request, response, status, and related documents remain connected to the buyer’s dashboard. This makes it easier to follow what has been requested, what has been received, and what happens next.
Independent role
Independent from factory commissions
Zelenberg does not receive commissions from manufacturers and does not add a margin to their quotations. Our role is to provide the platform, organize the information, and make specialized services available when requested. The buyer and the manufacturer make their own business decisions.
03 — Our experience and team
Two decades of experience, brought together by one team.
Our experience in the agricultural sector goes back to 2006.
Zelenberg was founded by Ali Maghsoudi, who has worked in agricultural inputs trading since 2006, first from Yiwu and now from Hangzhou.
Experience shared through Zelenberg
Over the years, we have worked with agricultural products, manufacturers, buyers, laboratories, technical teams, and international partners. Each project has added something to what we know today.
Zelenberg brings that experience into one place. It allows us to share what we have learned and turn it into a marketplace that others can use.
Good work is built together
Zelenberg is not the work of one person. Different members of our team bring different knowledge, responsibilities, and ways of looking at a problem.
We work closely, share information, and follow each task carefully. Keeping clear records and communicating accurately are part of our everyday work.
This teamwork helps us understand both the technical details of a product and the practical needs of the people doing business through the platform.
Working across languages and markets
Our team works in Spanish, Arabic, French, Turkish, Chinese, and English. This helps us understand questions from different markets and communicate them clearly to the right people in China. What we have learned since 2006 is now shared through Zelenberg, and it continues to grow with every new factory, product, request, and collaboration.

04 — Knowledge and innovation
What we learn should be shared.
Agriculture is constantly changing. New products, technologies, production methods, scientific findings, and market requirements continue to shape the way the industry works. Zelenberg gives us a place to share these developments alongside the marketplace.
Zelenberg Magazine
Practical information for the industry
The Magazine brings together practical information, product knowledge, industry updates, and experience from people working across the agricultural sector. It is a place to explain important subjects in a clear and useful way for both AgriTraders and manufacturers.
Zelenberg Innovation Hub
New ideas with a practical purpose
The Innovation Hub looks at new technologies, products, and ideas that may change how agriculture works. We focus on innovations with a practical purpose: improving production, solving real problems, supporting safer working environments, and helping the industry move forward responsibly.

05 — Our shared future
Better agriculture helps build a better future.
Agriculture supports everyday life. The decisions made across this industry affect the people who produce agricultural products, the farmers who use them, the communities around them, and the food we all depend on.
We believe progress in agriculture is a shared responsibility.
Manufacturers, AgriTraders, farmers, researchers, technical teams, and technology companies each bring different knowledge and experience. When that knowledge is shared and new ideas are used responsibly, the industry can become safer, healthier, and better prepared for the future.
Zelenberg cannot shape that future alone. What we can do is create a place where useful information, practical experience, responsible businesses, and new ideas can come together.
We hope the people who use Zelenberg see themselves as part of a wider agricultural community, working towards a healthier and more sustainable future.
06 — The name
Zelenberg evokes the idea of a green stone castle.
For us, the name brings together the green world of agriculture and the strength of a castle built to last. It reflects the kind of marketplace we want Zelenberg to become: connected to growth and new ideas, but also stable, dependable, and built for long-term business relationships.
Green
Agriculture, growth, and health
Green represents agriculture, growth, health, and the responsibility we share towards the future. It is a reminder that the work done in this industry ultimately supports life.
Stone castle
Strength and a dependable foundation
A stone castle represents strength, stability, protection, and a dependable foundation. It reflects our intention to build a marketplace where useful information, experienced manufacturers, serious buyers, and specialized services can come together in one reliable place.
Together
Green in purpose, strong in foundation
Together, these ideas describe the character of Zelenberg: green in purpose, strong in foundation, and open to people who want to contribute to the future of agriculture.
