Growing Acreage under Alfalfa in France
France is one of the major producers of alfalfa and exports the crop after drying it, to a number of different countries, some of which are affected by hot temperatures and long spells of drought. France itself was also affected by drought for in 2017 and 2018 and as a result, many farmers started to actively grow alfalfa in their fields as the grass was not growing naturally. One of the main advantages of alfalfa is that it contains 2,400kgs of protein per hectare which is much higher than soya at 1,000kgs to 1,500kgs of protein per hectare. Alfalfa gains its high content of nutrients and vitamins due to its deep root system that can extend to over 20 feet deep taking in nutrients unreachable by normal root systems. Farmers that grow alfalfa in France receive a subsidy from the European Parliament of around USD 11.18 per tonne. In total, French farmers grow in the region of 67,000 hectares of alfalfa each year and receive approximately USD 8.9 million in subsidies for it. Owing to these factors the production of alfalfa in France has been increasing and is likely to grow further in the years to come.
