Market Dynamics and Factors:
The alfalfa market is experiencing significant growth due to the increasing population of milk-producing animals. Alfalfa is highly valued for its rich protein content, nutritional benefits, and energy, which contribute to the improvement of livestock lactation, reproduction, maintenance, and growth. The demand for alfalfa from commercial dairy operators has been steadily rising, and this trend is expected to continue with the increasing investment in large-scale dairy operations. In recent years, there has been a growing reliance on alfalfa as a crucial ingredient in poultry and animal feed, primarily due to its high crude protein content. The escalating dependence on alfalfa for animal feed is driving the expansion of the alfalfa market at a rapid pace throughout the forecast period.
The global alfalfa market is driven by the livestock sector, which is expected to experience significant growth. Developing countries are projected to witness a yearly growth rate of 2.4% in meat production and 2.5% in milk production by 2030. As a result, developing countries are anticipated to contribute 66% (247 million metric tons) to global meat production and 55% (484 million metric tons) to global milk production. To address this demand, livestock growers are adopting alfalfa as a regular animal feed alternative, thereby supporting the growth of the alfalfa market in the projected timeframe
