Global Forage Seeds Market - Overview:
Forage is a type of plant that dairy producers mostly utilize to feed their cattle. Forage plants come in many different varieties, including chicory, ryegrass, alfalfa, timothy, clover, bent grass, and many more. Forage seed is converted into silage after being preserved and stored. To ensure that their seeds fulfill requirements for weed content and seed germination, growers of forage and grass seeds must employ particular approaches. The most popular and highest-yielding perennial forage crop farmed is alfalfa, a forage legume. It may be cultivated alone or in conjunction with different grass types and yields more protein per unit of area than other forage legumes.

Global Forage Seeds Market - By Origin:
Based on origin, the global forage seeds market is split into organic and inorganic segments. The organic forage seeds segment accounts for a higher share of the global forage seeds market by origin. Organic forage seeds are produced in an organic setting, in contrast to conventional seeds. As a result, there are fewer chances of chemical residues on the seed. Additionally, there are hints that certain contaminants may stick around in the seedlings and possibly in the finished product as well. However, inorganic forage seeds also cover a substantial market share owing to their lower cost.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Global Forage Seeds Market
The COVID-19 pandemic significantly disrupted the growth of the global forage seeds market. Due to restrictions on cross-border movement and lockdowns, labor shortages are affecting agriculture, an industry with high seasonal labor demand. Additionally, there are raw material shortages and distribution network interruptions in the global forage seed market. The demand for animal fodder declined, as the demand for animal meat and other products declined during the pandemic owing to the fear of the virus spreading through consumption.
