Hay Export and the Export Hay Industry

By ACX on June 6, 2011

Hay export, that is, the export of U.S.-grown forage and roughage products, began primarily in 1970′s and 1980′s with alfalfa cubes destined for Japan. Within a few short years, the hay export market demanded long-fiber product, not just cubes. The 1990′s saw the expansion of dairy industries in South Korea and Tawan. It wasn’t until the late 2000′s that we saw the burgeoning demand for Western U.S. alfalfa in China and the UAE.

Most hay exported to Asian markets is used for the dairy sector but is also used for beef cows and horses. Hay exported to the Middle East is primarily used to feed these same animals as well as camels and goats.
