The cultivation of dehydrated forages has a future, a great future ahead. So much so that the green shoots that the economies expect to see have already been seen in the field for months. The countries of the Persian Gulf and China are the big markets that Spanish producers look to. “This campaign has sold everything. The one that had forage has placed it on the market, and at a good price, ”stated Joaquín Capistrós, head of the Spanish Association of Dehydrated Alfalfa Manufacturers (Aefa) at the State Seminar on forages held in Palincia, who highlighted that the drop in domestic consumption and increased exports are the keys to the current campaign. "Spain will produce 1.9 million tons and 1.1 million is destined for foreign markets." The dehydrated forages seem, by boat soon, the panacea for the professional of the field, in moments when it is necessary to decide what is produced to optimize resources. «We have entered into a very positive dynamic. The great demand from Persian Gulf countries such as the United Arab Emirates or Saudi Arabia has driven this crop, ”said Capistrós. These countries have chosen to turn around their demand. If before the United States was its main market, now Spain has been placed in a preferential place. "The increase in prices in America, together with the high levels of quality of the Spanish product, its good logistics and the euro-dollar exchange play in our favor." However, the head of Aefa, pointed out that this should not make Spanish professionals relax. “Dependence on the Gulf has its negative aspects. They set the price and also set the demand, something that can change at any time ». That argument served as a prelude to affirm categorically that the opening of new markets will be key. “We are working with China. It is difficult to enter, but there are already conversations and we await a visit from those responsible for that country to homologate the product, "said Capistrós.
