Frequently asked questions
Is KOHENOOR EU Organic certified for alfalfa seed?
EU Organic / USDA NOP / JAS organic certified production of alfalfa seed is available from KOHENOOR on request. This is a separate production stream from standard alfalfa - it requires dedicated land allocation, certified organic input use, separate processing flow, and accredited certification body oversight. Subject to 5 MT minimum order and 60-90 day lead time.
How long does it take to receive EU Organic alfalfa seed from KOHENOOR?
60-90 day lead time from order confirmation to vessel sailing.

Faster lead times are possible if a recently-certified organic lot is already available - check current availability via WhatsApp.
What is the minimum order quantity for EU Organic alfalfa seed?
5 metric ton minimum (MOQ) for EU Organic, USDA NOP, and JAS organic certified production. This reflects the dedicated production overhead - organic certification requires separation from conventional production, additional documentation, and inspection costs that don't scale well below 5 MT.
Is EU Organic alfalfa seed more expensive than conventional?
Yes. Organic-certified alfalfa seed typically commands a 30-50% price premium over conventional production, reflecting the certification cost, separate handling, and dedicated lot allocation. KOHENOOR quotes the current EU Organic rate on the day of enquiry. The premium is competitive with European or American organic suppliers.
What organic certification body does KOHENOOR work with?
KOHENOOR coordinates with accredited organic certification bodies that hold equivalence agreements with EU Organic (Regulation EU 2018/848) and USDA NOP. Specific certifier names are confirmed at the time of order based on current production allocation and buyer destination requirements.
Does KOHENOOR also offer USDA NOP and JAS organic alfalfa?
Yes. USDA NOP (USA), EU Organic (European Union), JAS (Japan), Bio Suisse, Demeter (biodynamic), and similar major organic standards are all available on request through KOHENOOR's organic production stream.

The organic certification chain documentation supports the buyer's onward organic certification compliance.
Does EU Organic alfalfa have the same yield characteristics as conventional?
Organic-certified alfalfa cultivars from Pakistani origin generally have similar yield potential to their conventional counterparts.
