Forage & Sprouting Seeds Exporter Pakistan
Alfalfa, Clover, Sorghum, Millet & more

Pakistan's irrigated Punjab and Sindh belts have produced commercial forage and pasture seed for export since the 1960s. Three structural advantages drive demand from B2B buyers: geographic proximity to the Gulf and East Africa (Karachi → Jebel Ali ≈ 5 days, Karachi → Mombasa ≈ 12–14 days, vs ≈ 25–30 days from US West Coast or ≈ 20–24 days from Australia), 20–35% lower FOB pricing on equivalent specifications compared with US/Australian origin, and diverse cropping windows (rabi clover and oats Nov-March, kharif sorghum and millet July-October, year-round Rhodes grass on Sindh irrigated land) that allow continuous shipment throughout the calendar year.

The Kohenoor International forage portfolio covers thirteen SKUs serving four buyer-side industries. Dairy farms (commercial, mega-dairy and smallholder co-operatives) buy alfalfa, berseem, Persian clover, oats and Rhodes grass for milking-cow, dry-cow and heifer rations. Beef and feedlot operations source sorghum-Sudan, pearl millet and protein grass for warm-season tonnage. Poultry and broiler integrators use barley and oats for bird performance feed and litter. Sprouting houses in North America, Europe and Australia source pathogen-tested alfalfa for fresh-sprout retail (alfalfa, clover and broccoli sprout-mix bases). Each application has its own seed-cleanliness, germination and pathogen-test requirement, and we ship grades calibrated for each.

Quality framework: every container ships with a phytosanitary certificate, ISTA-equivalent lab tag (purity, germination, weed seed count, foreign matter), seed-quality certificate, certificate of origin, fumigation certificate and lab COA. Sortex color-sorting removes off-color and damaged seed; gravity tables remove light hulls and inert matter. Sprouting-grade lots receive batch-level Salmonella, Listeria and E. coli O157:H7 testing per FDA/EU guidance — the same pathogen-screening standard used by North-American and European sprout-house importers. Bag standard is 25kg or 50kg woven PP, lined with food-grade LDPE for sprouting and pharma-feed grades. Private-label printed bags are available above 5 MT order volume at no extra charge.

For dairy buyers comparing Pakistan with US/Australian origin: Pakistani premium-grade alfalfa typically tests 18–22% crude protein, RFV 130–160, NDF 38–44% and ADF 28–32%. This range is competitive with US Premium grade for maintenance and dry-cow rations, while top-yielding fresh-lactation cows are still best fed on US Supreme RFV >180 grade. Many GCC dairies (Al Ain, Al Rawabi, Marmum, Almarai contract farms) blend 60% Pakistani + 40% US/Australian as the standard cost-optimized ration. Berseem clover is a winter-season alternative or complement to alfalfa with lower lignin, higher digestibility, and a 4–5 cut harvest cycle November-March.

For sprouting-house buyers: Pakistani alfalfa pathogen-screened to FDA-equivalent zero-tolerance limits has been supplied to North-American sprout retailers for over a decade. Sprouting grade is processed on dedicated lines, never co-mingled with feed lots, and shipped in food-grade LDPE-lined PP bags or 25kg/2kg/1kg vacuum-sealed retail packs. We support full lot traceability from the originating farm in Bahawalpur or Sahiwal districts through our Hyderabad facility through the FOB Karachi container.
