Tridge summary
Russia is set to begin trial exports of alfalfa hay to China this year, following a protocol on inspection and quarantine requirements by the Chinese Customs Administration. This protocol, which allows for direct export from the quarantine zone if domestic suppliers use artificial drying technology, provides Russian alfalfa producers access to the world's largest market. Russia currently exports 1000-2000 tons of hay annually to various countries, with the Czech Republic, the Baltic States, Saudi Arabia, and Iran being the main consumers. In anticipation of increased production and exports, Russia plans to expand alfalfa sowing areas by 15,000-20,000 hectares and establish four alfalfa processing plants, investing approximately 5 billion rubles, in the coming years. The Russian Association of Producers and Exporters of Hay and fodder expects annual production to reach 300,000 tons by the end of 2023.
