Beauce Region & French Alfalfa Production — La Beauce et la production française de luzerne
The Beauce region, known as the "granary of France," is one of Europe's most productive agricultural areas and a major center for alfalfa cultivation. With its deep, fertile soils and temperate climate, the Beauce produces high-quality dehydrated alfalfa for France's substantial dairy and livestock sectors. Kohenoor International supplies varieties suited to the continental climate of northern France, offering winter-hardy cultivars with high yield potential and excellent protein content. Our Sardi variety performs exceptionally well in the Beauce's conditions, delivering 4-5 cuts per season.
Provence & Mediterranean Growing — Provence et culture méditerranéenne
Southern France's Provence region offers a Mediterranean climate ideal for alfalfa production, with warm summers and mild winters enabling extended growing seasons. Under irrigation, Provençal alfalfa fields can achieve 6-7 cuts per year with outstanding nutritional quality. Kohenoor's KN92 and CUF-101 varieties are well-adapted to Provence's warm conditions, delivering high crude protein (19-22%) with excellent heat tolerance. The region's proximity to Marseille port ensures efficient seed importation and distribution throughout southern France.
EU Regulations & Certification — Réglementations UE et certification
Importing alfalfa seeds into France requires compliance with European Union seed regulations, including EU Directive 66/401/EEC on the marketing of fodder plant seed. Kohenoor International provides complete documentation meeting all EU phytosanitary requirements, including ISTA certificates, phytosanitary certificates, and laboratory analysis reports. Our seeds are 100% dodder-free (sans cuscute) and non-GMO, meeting France's strict agricultural standards.
