Russia Forage Seed Market by Crop Types (Legumes, Cereals, and Grasses), Product Types (Fresh Forage and Stored Forage [Silage and Hay]), Animal Types (Swine, Cattle, Poultry, and Others), and Country - Global Industry Analysis, Growth, Share, Size, Trends, and Forecast 2021 – 2028

The Russia forage seed market size is expected to register a considerable CAGR of 9.8% during the forecast period, 2021–2028. The growth of the market is attributed to the growing demand for greater cattle output, dairy products, and higher meat consumption throughout the country.

Forage is plants, mostly the plant stems and leaves eaten by grazing cattle such as cows, horses, sheep, goats, etc. Forage crops are typically planted to be stored as hay or silage or to be grazed by animals. When compared to alternative feeds such as oilseed and wheat bran, forage seeds have a cheaper cost. Pesticides and artificial fertilizers are not used in the production of forage seeds. Forage seeds aid in the improvement and maintenance of soil fertility and texture. Forage seed aids in the reduction of nitrogen fertilizer prices as well as the energy costs involved with the nutrient application.

Forage seeds give vital fibers, proteins, and energy to animals, resulting in higher yields and lower costs associated with the inclusion of extra protein and supplement additives.

Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities

• Increasing demand for forage feed used to feed animals, artificial fertilizers and pesticides, that aid enhances and preserve soil quality, are not used by forage seeds are projected to boost the market growth during the forecast period.
• Risk diversification and crop rotation, as well as the economic advantages of growing forage seeds, are the main factors fueling the market expansion in the coming years.
• Lack of government support and decrease in arable land forage area distribution act as a major challenge that can hinder the market expansion in the coming years.
• Technological advances and developments in seed genomics are expected to create significant opportunities for the market players.
• Meat from forage-fed animals is healthier, helping to prevent overweight, cholesterol, malignancies, lipids, and diabetes is estimated to offer lucrative opportunities for the market expansion.

Russia Forage Seed Market Segment Insights

Cereals segment is projected to hold a key market share

Based on crop types, the Russia forage seed market is divided into legumes, cereals, and grasses. The cereals segment is expected to constitute a key share of the market in the coming years due to the cereal crops forage seed market has benefited from expanded irrigated farmland and rising demand for animal products. The most important grains grown for fodder in Russia are sorghum and corn. The government is encouraging farmers to plant more feed crops to improve domestic cattle production and fulfill consumer demand. Corn is known to be the ideal feed crop owing to its high energy content, which can help animals function better. Fodder cereals account for more than half of Russia's total yearly cereal production. Additional cereals utilized for crop production for animal feed include barley, wheat, and oats.

Stored forage segment is expected to expand at a significant pace

On the basis of product types, the market is bifurcated into fresh forage and stored forage [silage and hay]. The stored forage segment is expected to represent a key share of the market during the forecast period owing to summer resources should be conserved to give winter feed for cattle when grazing is not practicable or available. Harvesting forage at the right time, based on nutrient content, weather circumstances, and forage output, is critical, as is correctly storing it to avoid losses, because feeding is the most expensive component in cattle production, farmers must consider the total cost of production for all stored forage systems.

For instance, the stored forage segment is further divided into silage and hay.

Cattle segment is anticipated to register at a rapid CAGR

In terms of animal types, the Russia forage seed market is segregated into swine, cattle, poultry, and others. The cattle segment is expected to account for a key share of the market in the coming years due to the grade of the food supplied to the cattle determines the quality of the meat and milk products produced. Livestock producers include forage seeds to cows feed to achieve optimal output and performance. They aid in the production of more milk and strengthen the immunological system of cattle, resulting in increased feed efficiency.
