In April 2023, the Spanish dehydrated alfalfa industry exported over 78,000 tons, with 62% in pellet format and the rest in bale format. Around 48,500 tons of alfalfa pellets were exported, with most of it going to Saudi Arabia. The baled alfalfa, which reached almost 30,000 tons, was mainly exported to the United Arab Emirates, and for the first time in many years, it was not destined for the Chinese market.
