Forage seeds are the edible parts of plants widely utilized for livestock feeding. Alfalfa, clover, chicory, ryegrass, lablab, and fescue are some of the popular forage seeds in the global market. They are available at low price compared to other feeds, such as wheat bran and oil seed. These forage seeds are supplied to seed cultivators and conditioners for further processing and conditioning to get purified seeds with increased level of protein and energy.
The demand for forage seed is majorly driven by its high nutrient content, which helps to improve lactation, reproduction, and health of livestock. In addition, forage seeds are widely used to enhance milk production globally. Economic benefits with cultivating forage seeds, which include improving soil health and business flexibility, are further expected to drive the forage seed market. Irregular seed germination cycle, lack of favorable government policies for cereal crops, and insufficient funding in forage research is expected to hamper the market. Forage seed production does not involve addition of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides for forage crop growth and protection. The meat of the animals that are fed on forage is healthier and helps avoid obesity, cholesterol, cancer, fats, and hypertension. Thus, the rise in demand for organic meat to maintain a healthy lifestyle creates future opportunities for the forage seed market.
The alfalfa seed segment accounted for the highest share in the global forage seed market in 2015. The demand for alfalfa is on an increase due to its use to cure cholesterol, asthma, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, upset stomach, and thrombocytopenic purpura. It is also a rich source of vitamins A, C, E, and K4 and minerals such as calcium, potassium, phosphorous, and iron. This increases the opportunities for alfalfa market during the forecast period.
Key findings of the study
In 2015, Asia-Pacific and Europe collectively accounted for more than half of the total forage seed market and are expected to continue this trend due to increase in demand for organic meat and other dairy products. Rise in urban population is the main reason for the growth of forage seed market in the Asia-Pacific region.
The major players operating in the global forage seed market are Allied Seed, LLC., Brett Young, BASF SE, Dynamic Seeds Ltd., Central Garden & Pet Company, Barenbrug Seed Company, Northstar Seed Ltd., Hancock Farm & Seed Co. Inc., Foster's Seed and Feed Ltd., and Dow AgroSciences, LLC.
