The Africa alfalfa market size was USD XX Billion in 2022 and is likely to reach USD XX Billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 9.7% during 2023–2031. The growth of the market is attributed to the presence of high protein and digestible fibre content.

Alfalfa, commonly known as Medicago sativa, is a pea-family flowering plant used as a feed crop. In the UK and South Asia, it's known as lucerne and lucerne grass, respectively. Alfalfa is an important legume in agriculture. Because of its high protein content, alfalfa is commonly used as feed for cattle, horses, sheep, and goats. Alfalfa necessitates a lot of water, from 4 to 6 inches for every tonne of dry hay produced.

South Africa came out on top in 2016, as demand soared as a result of Africa's worst drought. Prices increased thrice, which is unprecedented in history.
