Punjab and Gujarat: India's Dairy Heartland — पंजाब और गुजरात: भारत का डेयरी हृदयस्थल
India is the world's largest milk producer, with over 230 million metric tons annually, and alfalfa (known locally as रिजका or लूसर्न) plays a vital role in sustaining this massive dairy industry. Punjab, the heartland of Indian agriculture, has a long tradition of alfalfa cultivation for its high-yielding dairy herds. Gujarat, home to Amul and the cooperative dairy movement, has increasingly adopted alfalfa to improve milk quality and yields. Rajasthan and Maharashtra are also expanding alfalfa acreage, driven by rising demand from both cooperative and commercial dairy operations.
NDDB and Dairy Development Programs — NDDB और डेयरी विकास कार्यक्रम
The National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) has been instrumental in promoting scientific fodder management across India. Under various government programs including the National Livestock Mission and Rashtriya Gokul Mission, alfalfa cultivation is being actively promoted as a high-value fodder crop. NDDB-affiliated cooperatives in Gujarat, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh are increasingly sourcing premium imported alfalfa seed to establish demonstration plots and seed multiplication programs. Kohenoor's varieties have been trialled successfully at agricultural universities in Ludhiana, Anand, and Pune.
Mumbai and JNPT Port: Import Gateway — मुंबई और JNPT बंदरगाह: आयात प्रवेशद्वार
Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT) at Nhava Sheva, Mumbai, is India's largest container port and the primary entry point for agricultural imports. Kohenoor International ships directly to JNPT with complete documentation including phytosanitary certificates meeting Indian Plant Quarantine requirements, fumigation certificates, and DGFT import compliance paperwork. We also ship to Mundra port for Gujarat destinations and Kandla for Rajasthan. Transit time from Karachi is just 3-5 days — the fastest of any international alfalfa seed supplier.
