Detailed answers
Why import alfalfa seed from Pakistan to Italy or Europe?
Pakistani-origin alfalfa typically offers competitive landed cost versus EU-internal sources, with the same ISTA-certified seed quality. The Pakistani production zones (Punjab, Sindh) have controlled-irrigation seed multiplication systems with high purity.
Does KOHENOOR ship to Genoa, Hamburg, Rotterdam, Le Havre, Felixstowe?
Yes — all major EU container ports. Transit times: Genoa 18-22 days, Hamburg 20-26 days, Rotterdam 20-26 days, Le Havre 22-28 days, Felixstowe 18-24 days. FOB Karachi shipping terms.
Can KOHENOOR meet EU plant-health import requirements?
Standard Phytosanitary Certificate from Pakistan's Department of Plant Protection accompanies every shipment. National plant-health authorities of EU member states accept this certificate alongside the ISTA Orange Certificate.
Italian, French, German names for the same crop?
Italian: erba medica. French: luzerne. German: Luzerne. Spanish: alfalfa. All refer to the same crop (Medicago sativa) that KOHENOOR exports.
