Forage Feed Market - Global Industry Share 2019

Forage consists of grasses, herbaceous legumes, tree legumes, silage, green feed and hay. Nearly 200 plant species have been known as forage crops. The market for forage is segmented as fresh forage and stored forage. Fresh forage provides the highest quality and the most palatable feed possible. Stored forage is harvested as hay and can be chopped and packed in plastic bags. Benefits from forage crops are not just limited to livestock production. They also contribute to food crop production by conserving soil, landscape and wildlife, protecting the environment from pollution, and revegetating and reclamation of degraded land. They are also sources of high quality proteins for medical and pharmaceutical products. The global forage feed market in terms of revenue was valued at USD 85.06 billion in 2013.

Annual crops are high production grains such as wheat, sorghum and maize. Crops are both forage and subsistence such as cowpea and sorghum.
