Alfalfa Seeds Export to Thailand — Kohenoor International

Thailand's Dairy Cooperatives and Forage Demand — สหกรณ์โคนมของไทยและความต้องการอาหารสัตว์

Thailand's dairy industry is built on a cooperative model, with over 100 dairy cooperatives serving approximately 20,000 dairy farmers across the country. Major cooperatives in Saraburi, Nakhon Ratchasima (Korat), and Chiang Mai collectively produce over 3,000 metric tons of raw milk daily, supplying processors including Thai-Denmark (Dairy Farming Promotion Organization), Chokchai Farm, and CP-Meiji. These cooperatives are constantly seeking high-protein forage alternatives to supplement Napier grass and rice straw, which dominate Thai dairy feeding programs but lack the protein density needed for optimal milk production. Alfalfa, with its 18-23% crude protein content, offers a transformative upgrade that can increase milk yields by 20-35% while improving milk fat and protein percentages.

Tropical Adaptation: Growing Alfalfa in Thailand — การปรับตัวในเขตร้อน: การปลูกอัลฟัลฟาในประเทศไทย

Growing alfalfa in Thailand's tropical climate (average 28-34°C, humidity 70-80%) requires specially adapted varieties and management practices. Kohenoor's TAIZTAR variety, with its FD 10 rating, represents the highest level of non-dormancy available, maintaining active growth even in Thailand's hottest months. CUF-101 offers similar heat tolerance with slightly higher disease resistance. Thai research stations in Nakhon Ratchasima and Saraburi provinces have demonstrated successful alfalfa cultivation using raised beds for drainage management during the monsoon season (May-October) and supplemental irrigation during the dry season (November-April). Under proper management, 8-10 cuts per year are achievable, with crude protein consistently above 18%. The cooler highland areas of Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, and Loei provinces offer even more favorable growing conditions with reduced heat stress.

Laem Chabang Port: Gateway to Thai Agriculture — ท่าเรือแหลมฉบัง: ประตูสู่การเกษตรไทย

Kohenoor International ships alfalfa seeds to Thailand primarily through the Port of Laem Chabang, Thailand's largest deep-sea port located in Chonburi province. Laem Chabang handles over 8 million TEUs annually and offers excellent connectivity to Thailand's central dairy belt via Highway 7 and the Eastern Seaboard motorway. We also arrange shipments through Bangkok Port (Klong Toey) for inner-city clients. Transit time from Karachi to Laem Chabang averages 10-14 days — one of the shortest routes in our Southeast Asian network. All shipments comply with Thailand's Department of Agriculture (DOA) phytosanitary requirements, National Bureau of Agricultural Commodity and Food Standards (ACFS) regulations, and HS Code 120921 classification. Our Bangkok-based logistics partners ensure door-to-farm delivery across all Thai provinces.

Dairy Cooperatives and Feed Cost Reduction — สหกรณ์โคนมและการลดต้นทุนอาหารสัตว์

Thai dairy farmers spend 60-70% of their production costs on feed. Imported concentrate feeds and soybean meal are expensive, and their prices fluctuate with global commodity markets. By incorporating locally grown alfalfa into Total Mixed Ration (TMR) feeding programs, cooperatives can reduce concentrate feed dependency by 15-25% while maintaining or improving milk output. The Dairy Farming Promotion Organization (DPO) and Thai dairy cooperatives are increasingly interested in alfalfa as a strategic forage crop. Kohenoor provides bulk seed pricing for cooperative orders, technical training on tropical alfalfa management, and ongoing agronomic support to help Thai dairy farmers maximize returns from their alfalfa investments.
