Why Should Agricultural Business Owners and Distributors Know About Weedmat?
Weedmat is a sheet made of polypropylene (PP) or polyethylene (PE) that is used to cover the soil surface, blocking sunlight so that weeds do not grow, but still allowing water and air to enter the soil.
Weedmat is very useful for:
- Horticultural gardens (chili peppers, melons, watermelons)
- Nursery
- Rice fields, grain fields, and palm oil plantations
- Hydroponic and organic farms
- Modern agricultural land and greenhouses
1. Black WeedMat
Black weed mat is the most common and widely used type due to its neutral and functional appearance.
Advantages of Black Weedmat:
- Maximally blocking sunlight → weeds cannot grow
- Durable and strong (generally 90gsm and above)
- More heat efficient, suitable for tropical areas
- Doesn’t show dirt easily
- Generally more economical than other colors
2. Green Weedmat
Green weed mats are widely used for areas that require a more aesthetic appearance, such as gardens, greenhouses, or small-scale organic farms.
Advantages of Green Weedmat:
- More visually appealing – suitable for open areas visible to visitors
- Suitable for agrotourism or urban farming
- Usually has lines as planting guides
- Quite durable, similar to black weedmat
Why is it important for business owners and distributors?
1. High Demand, Wide Open Market
Farmers are now increasingly aware of the importance of work efficiency and weed control without herbicides. Weedmat is the ideal choice because:
- Practical
- Environmentally friendly
- Labor saving
As a distributor, you can offer weedmat as a complementary product for rice, corn, horticulture, and other farmers.
2. Increasing Product Added Value
Selling weed mats alongside other products such as grain sacks, agricultural tools, or plastic mulch will increase your customers’ average order value.
3. Consumable Products
Although durable, weed mats will still deteriorate over time or with use, so customers will repurchase them within a certain period. This creates opportunities for repeat orders.
Tips for Starting to Sell Weedmat :
- Provide two main variants: black (for functionality) and green (for aesthetics).
- Offer several width and length options, such as 1m, 2m, 3m wide and 50–100 meters long.
- Educate customers on installation and maintenance to ensure product durability.
- Include “UV resistant” and “durable” labels to build trust.
