Sabana de Bogota: Tropical Highland Alfalfa — Sabana de Bogota: Alfalfa en Tierras Altas Tropicales
The Sabana de Bogota, at 2,600 meters elevation, is Colombia's primary alfalfa-growing region. This vast highland plateau surrounding the capital offers cool temperatures (average 14C year-round) and fertile volcanic soils ideal for Medicago sativa. Colombian dairy farms on the Sabana produce a significant share of the nation's milk supply, with alfalfa serving as the premium protein forage. The highland regions of Boyaca, Narina, and Antioquia's eastern plateau also support growing alfalfa acreage. Kohenoor's KN92 variety thrives at these tropical highland elevations, delivering consistent 6-8 cuts per year.
Colombia's Growing Dairy Sector — El Creciente Sector Lechero Colombiano
Colombia is South America's third-largest milk producer, with over 7 billion liters annually from more than 400,000 dairy farms. The highland dairy belt around Cundinamarca and Boyaca departments increasingly relies on alfalfa to boost milk protein and fat content. As Colombian consumers demand more dairy products, farmers are intensifying production systems, creating strong demand for high-quality imported forage seed. Kohenoor's varieties deliver crude protein levels of 19-23%, significantly improving dairy ration quality compared to tropical grasses alone.
