Continental Overview: South America's Alfalfa Landscape — Vision Continental: El Panorama de la Alfalfa en Sudamerica
South America is a major global center for alfalfa (Medicago sativa) production and consumption, with Argentina alone ranking as the world's fourth-largest producer with over 6 million hectares. The continent's diverse climates — from the temperate Pampas to the tropical highlands of the Andes, from coastal deserts to humid subtropical zones — each present unique opportunities for alfalfa cultivation. The region's massive livestock sector, comprising over 350 million cattle, drives enormous demand for high-quality forage seed. Kohenoor International serves importers across every South American nation with varieties specifically suited to each country's agricultural conditions.
Key Markets & Regional Dairy Demand — Mercados Clave y Demanda Lechera Regional
The South American dairy industry produces over 60 billion liters of milk annually, led by Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, and Peru. Alfalfa serves as the premium protein forage across the continent, with consumption growing as dairy operations intensify. Argentina's Pampa region, Peru's Arequipa coast, Chile's Central Valley, and Colombia's Sabana de Bogota are the continent's alfalfa hotspots. Beyond dairy, South America's massive beef cattle sector — particularly in Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay — increasingly utilizes alfalfa for finishing programs. Kohenoor's variety portfolio covers all South American growing zones, from the Pampas to the Andes to the tropics.
