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.
