The United Kingdom forage
seeds market is expected to grow at a significant rate in the forecast period.
Forage crops are all the edible parts of plants apart from their grains and
seed and are used as fodder for grazing animals. These crops help the farmer to
provide high protein and nutrient food to their farm animals. It also helps the
farmers to improve soil ecosystem, enriching wildlife habitat, and enhancing
crop diversity. Grass and forage crops are commonly used for dairy animal feeds
in the United Kingdom. Increasing demand for dairy-based products and meat is
the major factor in driving the market share of the forage seed market in the
United Kingdom. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization, UK
livestock production increased from 1,806,517 metric tonnes in 2016 to
1,901,578 metric tonnes in 2019. The increased livestock production elevated
the demand for forage seeds in the market. Livestock farmers represent a major
segment in the usage of forage seeds, as they are essential for cattle. Additionally,
increasing demand for high-quality crops, increasing demand for decorative
grasses, increasing demand from livestock & less farm area, degrading soil
health, government initiatives, and increasing population are other reasons
that are anticipated to positively impact the growth of the market through
2027.
High Consumption of Livestock
Based Food propel Share of Forage Seed Market
Rapid population growth in
the United Kingdom and changes in their lifestyle led to changes in food
habits. Demand for milk, butter, yogurt, meat, beef, pork, and livestock-based
food is expected to increase due to this reason. Thus, the farm's owners are
now shifting towards cattle farming as the demand for livestock-based food is
expected to increase in the upcoming year. For healthier growth of the
livestock, farmers depend on agriculture and grow green crops for their grazing
animals. Grass and forage crops are most common product used for dairy animal
feed.
Health problem due to lack of
nutrients and low consumption of animal fodder is a significant problem for
farm owners, who are shifting towards forage crops for better results.
Technological advancement helps farms grow more produce in a short space with more
nutrients.
The government has launched
many initiatives and policies in the agriculture. The government guidelines are
interconnected to changes in support payments and environmental trends such as
the Basic Payment Scheme, new support scheme and Lumpsum exit plan, Carbon
credit, encouraging the use of renewable energy, and other projects. These
steps will impact cattle farming and increase demand for forage seed products
in the market. All the factors mentioned above are expected to drive the expansion
of the United Kingdom forage seeds market.
High Price of Forage Seeds
Creating Hurdle in Fast Growth
The initial investment is a
vital and critical part of any business, whether it is big or small same as the
seed is an initial investment for the framer. Thus, the price of seed plays an
integral role for the farmer. Forage seed's price depends on the yields and
type of the farms, which makes the product costly. Apart from this climate
change, labor shortage and lack of information on processes are creating a
hindrance to the growth of the market size.
Technological Advancement in
Agricultural Sector is Driving Market Growth
The use of technology is
growing in the agriculture sector to increase productivity. For example, SPFH
with the 3D camera, Drones, Self- Propelled harvesters, and many more. A
self-propelled harvester helps the farmer to reach a large area and convert
forage crops into fodder in a short span of time. This modern process helps
them complete all activities in optimum people and labor shortage issues.
In June 2020, Barenbrug Group
invested 2.2 million euros in automated packing facilities and helped them to
increase efficiency, safety, and quality. The step will help to produce 4,500
tons of seed every year to fulfill their customer base demand.
