Alfalfa Seeds Export to Afghanistan — Kohenoor International

Helmand Valley: Afghanistan's Alfalfa Heartland — دره هلمند: قلب یونجه‌کاری افغانستان

The Helmand Valley, fed by the Helmand River and the Kajaki Dam irrigation system, is Afghanistan's most productive agricultural region. Alfalfa (یونجه) has been a traditional crop here for centuries, providing essential fodder for the country's 35 million livestock. The valley's warm climate and fertile alluvial soils create ideal conditions for alfalfa cultivation, with farmers achieving 6-8 cuts annually. Kohenoor's non-dormant varieties like KN92 and CUF-101 are perfectly suited for these conditions, delivering high protein content and rapid regrowth.

Livestock Sector and Fodder Demand — د مالدارۍ سکتور او د علوفې اړتیا

Afghanistan's livestock sector is a cornerstone of the rural economy, with over 80% of the population depending on agriculture and animal husbandry. The country's sheep, goats, cattle, and horses require consistent high-quality fodder, especially during the harsh winter months. Alfalfa hay, with its high protein content of 18-22%, is the preferred feed. Provinces like Kandahar, Herat, Balkh, and Nangarhar are expanding alfalfa cultivation to meet growing demand from both traditional pastoral and emerging commercial dairy operations.

Transit via Karachi Port — ترانزیت از طریق بندر کراچی

As a landlocked country, Afghanistan relies heavily on Pakistan's Karachi port for international trade. Kohenoor International, headquartered in Pakistan, offers a significant logistical advantage for Afghan importers. Seeds are shipped from our processing facility directly through Karachi port under the Afghanistan-Pakistan Transit Trade Agreement (APTTA), with onward trucking to Kabul, Jalalabad, Kandahar, and Herat via the Torkham and Chaman border crossings. This proximity means shorter transit times, lower shipping costs, and fresher seed delivery compared to other international suppliers.
