Saudi Arabia's dairy expansion under Almarai, NADEC and Al Safi runs on imported alfalfa hay totalling over 1.6 million tonnes annually. Seed-side imports concentrate on fall-dormancy class 9 to 11 non-dormant cultivars — CUF-101, Magna 901, Mecca II — for Wadi Ad-Dawasir, Tabuk, Qassim and Hail commercial-farm centre-pivot operations. MEWA Hassad import permit, SABER SCoC and Halal letter are mandatory at Jeddah Islamic Port and King Abdulaziz Port Dammam.

This is a procurement reference for Saudi Arabian MEWA-licensed seed importers, dairy-cooperative seed buyers and commercial-farm procurement teams placing real alfalfa-seed orders for the 2026 winter and shoulder-season planting windows. It covers what Saudi commercial farms in Wadi Ad-Dawasir, Tabuk, Riyadh, Qassim, Hail and Al-Jouf actually buy, what MEWA's Hassad system asks for, the policy shift away from domestic forage production, the SABER SALEEM regime at Jeddah Islamic Port and King Abdulaziz Port Dammam, and the realistic FOB-and-CIF price bands for FD9 to FD11 non-dormant cultivars. An Arabic summary at the foot of the page (العربية) condenses the brief for Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam procurement teams.

The Saudi alfalfa market in one paragraph
Saudi Arabia is the most strategically important alfalfa-seed and alfalfa-hay import market in the Middle East. The Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture (MEWA) estimates Saudi demand for alfalfa at over 1.6 million tonnes annually per the USDA FAS Grain and Feed Annual report for Saudi Arabia 2025. The country's dairy industry is anchored by Almarai (the largest integrated dairy operation in the world with 104,500 milking cows), NADEC (National Agricultural Development Company) and Al Safi Danone — these three operators define the structural demand curve for forage seed and forage hay in the GCC. Almarai alone secures forage supply through dedicated United States partnerships including the Fondomonte Arizona operation which historically supplied a significant share of Saudi alfalfa hay imports per the PBS NewsHour reference on Saudi farming operations in Arizona.
Why the Saudi alfalfa-seed import market is being reshaped in 2026 and 2027
A major policy reset is reshaping the Saudi forage market. MEWA's decision to cease imports of alfalfa seed for domestic cultivation and the scheduled termination of local alfalfa hay production scheduled for 2027 marks a significant policy shift in Saudi Arabia's agricultural approach per the Ken Research Saudi Arabia alfalfa market analysis. The policy is driven by water conservation — alfalfa is one of the most water-intensive crops grown in Saudi Arabia's aquifer-dependent agricultural belts, and the Kingdom has committed to reducing groundwater abstraction in Wadi Ad-Dawasir, Tabuk and Qassim.
The market structural consequence: while domestic seed-import volume for new commercial-farm establishment is being throttled, the parallel domestic farm-to-bale forage chain is being phased out — meaning Saudi import demand is shifting from seed-for-sowing toward bale-and-pellet hay-for-feeding. However, several commercial dynamics keep the seed-import market commercially relevant:
- Variety renewal on existing stands. Standing alfalfa stands need re-establishment every 3 to 5 years even where water allocation continues; existing licensed farms continue to buy seed for stand renewal.
- MEWA permitted research-and-trial planting. Variety-testing programmes for next-generation drought-tolerant cultivars continue under MEWA supervision.
- Niche specialty-feed production. Premium dairy-and-equine feed channels continue to specify Saudi-grown alfalfa for traceability reasons.
- Re-export and transit. Saudi-licensed importers serving regional GCC distribution (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman) continue to take seed for onward shipment.
The Kehkashan trade desk works with Saudi importers across all four segments. The realistic 2026 volume opportunity is smaller than 2018 to 2022 baseline but is concentrated in higher-value premium-cultivar lots.
The Saudi variety map — what FD9 to FD11 means at the farm gate
Saudi non-dormant alfalfa is grown across nine to twelve cutting cycles per year under centre-pivot irrigation in Wadi Ad-Dawasir, Tabuk, Riyadh and Qassim. The variety menu is narrow — five cultivars cover roughly 90 percent of the commercial-farm catalogue.
| Variety | Fall Dormancy | Origin | Cuts per year (Saudi) | Yield (t hay/ha/year) | Heat tolerance | Top use |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CUF-101 | 9 | USA (California) | 9–11 | 22–28 | Excellent | Wadi Ad-Dawasir, Tabuk |
| Magna 901 / Magna 995 | 9–10 | USA / Spain | 10–12 | 24–30 | Excellent | Riyadh, Qassim, Hail |
| Mecca II | 9–10 | USA (California) | 10–12 | 24–30 | Excellent | Tabuk, Qassim |
| SARDI 7 (Series 2) | 7 | Australia | 8–10 | 20–26 | Very good | Northern Tabuk, higher altitude |
| WL 712 / WL 656HQ | 9–10 | USA (S&W) | 10–12 | 24–30 | Excellent | Premium dairy contracts |
CUF-101 is the historical reference variety. Released by the University of California-Davis in 1976, CUF-101 is FD9, non-winter-hardy by design, bred for California Imperial Valley and Central Valley year-round production per the UC Davis variety datasheet. CUF-101 is the bedrock cultivar in Saudi commercial-farm catalogues and remains the most-specified line in Wadi Ad-Dawasir.
Magna 901 and Magna 995 are heat-tolerant non-dormant cultivars selected for fast regrowth and 10 to 12 cuts per year under Saudi centre-pivot conditions. The variety is widely used by Almarai, NADEC and Al Safi feed programmes.
Mecca II competes directly with CUF-101 and Magna in the Saudi non-dormant market — slightly higher crown vigour, comparable heat tolerance, similar yield.
SARDI 7 Series 2 from Australia (Barenbrug/AusWest) is the moderate winter-active cultivar for northern Tabuk where altitude (~770 metres above sea level) and northern latitude create longer cold-windows than central or southern Saudi. SARDI 7 carries persistence selection for bluegreen aphid, spotted lucerne aphid, anthracnose and Phytophthora root rot tolerance per the Barenbrug Australia SARDI 7 datasheet. Tabuk's higher altitude and cooler winter window favours FD7 over FD9 in some commercial-farm specs.
WL Alfalfas (S&W Seed Company) lines including WL 712 and WL 656HQ supply the premium Almarai-and-equivalent dairy contracts. S&W is the world's largest non-dormant alfalfa seed company and the dominant supplier of high-end FD9 to FD11 commercial seed.
OP and unbranded lines exist at the margin but represent a small share of the Saudi commercial-farm buyer base. The Saudi market is structurally premium-cultivar-named.
Origin reputation comparison for Saudi buyers
USA — S&W, Forage Genetics International, Alforex, Pioneer (Corteva). The dominant supplier into Saudi commercial-farm channels. FOB Los Angeles or Oakland USD 7 to 13 per kilogram for FD9 to FD11 cultivars. Los Angeles to Jeddah ocean transit 28 to 35 days via Suez. Strength: cultivar depth, ISTA orange documentation discipline, hard-seed scarification standard, the broadest FD range. Weakness: long ocean transit and USDA APHIS phytosanitary lead time on lots above 5 tonnes.
Australia — SARDI, Heritage, AusWest, Barenbrug. Premium-niche supplier for moderate winter-active cultivars. FOB Melbourne or Adelaide USD 8 to 13 per kilogram. Melbourne to Jeddah transit 20 to 26 days via Suez. Strength: drought-tolerant breeding, persistence selection, ISTA-aligned documentation. Weakness: limited FD9 to FD11 depth versus US.
Spain — RAGT (RGT Salsa, RGT Marathon), Limagrain, Cantus. Tier-2 supplier of Mediterranean cultivars for FD6 to FD8 niche programmes. FOB Barcelona USD 7 to 12 per kilogram. Barcelona to Jeddah transit 9 to 14 days via Suez. Strength: short transit, Mediterranean adaptation. Weakness: FD profile is too low for central and southern Saudi commercial-farm windows.
Pakistan. Tier-2 supplier of heat-tolerant non-dormant lines from Punjab and Sindh provinces. FOB Karachi USD 5 to 9 per kilogram. Karachi to Jeddah transit 7 to 12 days. Strength: short ocean transit and price; locally adapted heat tolerance. Weakness: documentation discipline lot-to-lot. Halal letter automatic on Pakistani-origin lots.
For Saudi MEWA-licensed importers with USD 200,000 to 1,500,000 annual alfalfa-seed budgets in the 2026 to 2027 transition window, the structural play is US S&W FGI Alforex Pioneer concentration with an Australian SARDI 7 layer for Tabuk and a Pakistani heat-tolerant layer for cost-sensitive secondary programmes. Kehkashan consolidates US + Australian + Pakistani + Spanish origins under one PO via Jebel Ali Free Zone — useful for importers wanting documentation consolidation rather than parallel origin LCs.
MEWA, SABER and SFDA compliance walkthrough
Saudi alfalfa-seed imports clear three regulatory checkpoints — the Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture (MEWA, the NPPO), the Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization (SASO) under SABER SALEEM, and the Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA) where co-imported processed-feed consignments require registration.
MEWA Hassad import permit. MEWA is responsible for inspecting imported planting seeds, unprocessed animal feed and fruit-and-vegetable consignments per the WTO Trade Policy Review of Saudi Arabia. The seed-import application runs electronically through MEWA's Hassad system. Beneficiary requirements: commercial registration including seed activity, and an agricultural engineer on staff with the importing company. Requirements are submitted electronically on the Ministry's website through the Hassad system, and after approval, import applications are submitted through the system per the MEWA service description on the Saudi National Portal. Obtaining import approval from the Ministry before shipment dispatch is mandatory. For new alfalfa cultivars, experimental samples must be imported and tested under MEWA supervision before commercial registration [per the same MEWA service description].
Given the policy reset, MEWA permit issuance for alfalfa seed has become more selective in 2026. Permits for stand-renewal-on-licensed-farms are typically approved; permits for new commercial-farm establishment face stricter water-allocation review.
Phytosanitary certificate from origin NPPO. Mandatory under MEWA's plant-quarantine regime. The certificate must declare freedom from regulated alfalfa pests including Cuscuta spp. (dodder), Verticillium albo-atrum, Stagonospora meliloti, Sclerotinia trifoliorum, Phytophthora medicaginis, alfalfa weevil (Hypera postica), and leaf-curl mite where applicable.
ISTA orange International Seed Lot Certificate. Required for international seed-for-sowing movements under WTO/IPPC frameworks. Accepted by MEWA as proof of seed quality and lot identity. Insist on a test date within 90 days of dispatch.
SASO SABER SCoC. SABER is the online platform connecting importers, SASO-approved certification bodies and Saudi customs into one verification system per the Intertek government conformity reference for Saudi Arabia. All shipments to Saudi Arabia require both a Product Certificate of Conformity (PCoC) at the product-line level and a Shipment Certificate of Conformity (SCoC) at the shipment level, both issued through the SABER platform [per the same Intertek reference]. Seed lots run as shipment-level conformity declarations through SABER.
SFDA Food Product Certificate of Conformity. For sowing seed specifically, SFDA PCoC may not apply — sowing seed is a MEWA-regulated category — but co-imported processed-feed consignments (alfalfa hay, alfalfa pellets, alfalfa meal) require SFDA PCoC under the SFDA Executive Management of Food Import Control regime per the SFDA imported food reference.
Documents per consignment. Phytosanitary certificate from origin NPPO, ISTA orange certificate, MEWA Hassad import permit, SABER SCoC, certificate of analysis from third-party lab (SGS, Eurofins, NSA), fumigation certificate, commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, Halal letter (mandatory in Saudi market for all commodities even where intrinsically Halal), and Saudi Customs declaration.
Customs at Jeddah Islamic Port and King Abdulaziz Port Dammam. Saudi alfalfa-seed lots clear primarily through Jeddah Islamic Port (Red Sea, serving Tabuk, Hail, Riyadh, Qassim, Al-Jouf and the Wadi Ad-Dawasir commercial-farm belt) and King Abdulaziz Port Dammam (Gulf, serving Al-Hasa, Eastern Province farms and Riyadh by truck). For Wadi Ad-Dawasir destinations specifically, Jeddah is the closer port. Saudi Customs clearance under clean documentation runs 7 to 14 working days.

Planting calendar — Saudi winter window
Saudi non-dormant alfalfa is planted year-round under centre-pivot irrigation but the main establishment window runs October through December for primary stand setup, with re-cuts every 28 to 35 days through the year. Tabuk's higher altitude (~770 metres) and northern latitude give it a longer cold-window than Riyadh; Qassim and Hail run similar windows. Wadi Ad-Dawasir runs slightly later. The cold-tolerance differential is why some Tabuk operators specify SARDI 7 (FD7) over CUF-101 (FD9) on the northern fields.
Saudi-licensed importers typically book the year's volume in April through August for October establishment plus rolling stand-renewal orders through the year. MEWA Hassad application runs 30 to 60 days, MEWA inspection plus SABER SCoC issuance another 14 to 21 days, ocean transit (Los Angeles to Jeddah) 28 to 35 days, customs clearance 7 to 14 days. The total lead time from PO to commercial-farm receipt is 80 to 130 days. Saudi commercial-farm procurement teams plan their PO calendars on a July-or-August lead-time anchor.
Logistics — Los Angeles / Melbourne / Karachi → Jebel Ali → Jeddah / Dammam
Three primary routes serve Saudi alfalfa-seed imports.
Direct Los Angeles → Jeddah. US S&W, FGI, Alforex, Pioneer lots load FOB Los Angeles, transit 28 to 35 days via Suez, clear Jeddah in 7 to 14 days under clean documentation. Inland trucking Jeddah to Riyadh 12 to 18 hours; Jeddah to Tabuk 14 to 20 hours; Jeddah to Wadi Ad-Dawasir 14 to 18 hours.

Saudi alfalfa-seed importer FAQ
Which non-dormant variety should a Wadi Ad-Dawasir farm specify first? CUF-101 as the reference FD9 line, Magna 901 or Mecca II as the comparable Saudi-track FD9-to-FD10 alternatives. Tabuk operators with cooler winter windows may layer SARDI 7 (FD7) into the spec.
Is the MEWA Hassad import permit mandatory? Yes. MEWA approval through the Hassad electronic system is mandatory before shipment dispatch. The application requires the importing company's commercial registration with seed activity and an agricultural engineer on staff per the MEWA service description. The 2027 domestic-production phase-out has tightened permit review but stand-renewal permits remain routinely approved.
What is the SABER SCoC? The Shipment Certificate of Conformity issued through the SABER SALEEM platform run by SASO. Required for all shipments to Saudi Arabia and issued through SASO-approved certification bodies (Intertek, SGS, Bureau Veritas, TUV) per the Intertek government conformity reference.
What is realistic Los Angeles-to-Jeddah lead time? 28 to 35 days port-to-port via Suez, plus 7 to 14 days customs and MEWA clearance plus inland trucking. Total 40 to 55 days door-to-farm. Jebel Ali consolidation adds 7 to 12 days at the front end.
What price range should I expect on CUF-101 CIF Jeddah Q1 2026? USD 8.50 to 13.00 per kilogram for tier-1 commercial-grade lots delivered Jeddah Islamic Port with full ISTA orange + MEWA + SABER documentation. WL 712 and WL 656HQ run USD 10.50 to 15.00 per kilogram.
Can I import an unregistered new alfalfa cultivar into Saudi Arabia? Only via experimental sample under MEWA supervision. For commercial sale, the variety must first be registered through MEWA's variety-testing programme per the MEWA service description.
Does the 2027 domestic alfalfa phase-out kill the seed-import market? It throttles new-establishment volume but does not kill stand-renewal demand on existing licensed farms. The seed-import market is shifting toward higher-value cultivars and premium dairy-feed-quality varieties rather than commodity volume.
What hay-import alternatives exist? Saudi importers are pivoting toward direct US alfalfa-hay imports under bale and pellet form to substitute domestically-grown forage. Hay-import volumes are projected to grow as the 2027 cut-off approaches; Kehkashan supplies the seed-side of this transition.

Trade desk closing note
Saudi Arabia is the premium-positioning alfalfa-seed buyer market in the GCC, going through a structural policy reset in 2026 to 2027. The commercial-farm structure, the FD9-to-FD11 non-dormant agronomy, the MEWA Hassad water-allocation discipline and the SABER documentation regime combine to make this a US-S&W-FGI-Alforex-Pioneer-dominated market layered with Australian SARDI and Spanish RGT. Importers serving this channel compete on documentation reliability, MEWA Hassad application fluency, and SABER SCoC issuance speed — not on raw seed price. UAE Free Zone routing through Kehkashan compresses the MEWA-SABER-customs document chain by consolidating multiple origins under one consignor of record.
For Saudi MEWA-licensed seed companies and commercial-farm procurement teams ready to receive a quote, send the RFQ — variety, volume, destination port (Jeddah or Dammam), planting window — to [email protected] or via the RFQ form. The trade desk replies in one working day with FOB origin, CIF Jeddah and CIF Dammam pricing across the FD9-to-FD11 cultivar matrix, the ISTA documentation pack, the MEWA Hassad application dossier template, the SABER SCoC issuance plan, and the Halal letter as standard.
