Alfalfa Hay — Wholesale Supplier & Global Exporter
Alfalfa Hay supplied by Meridian Global is sourced from vetted producers across USA, Spain, GCC and exported worldwide under strict quality control. As a UK-registered import and export house, we consolidate reliable origin supply, independent inspection and end-to-end logistics into a single, dependable contract. Our alfalfa hay is prepared to international animal feed standards and is suitable for dairy, horse, cattle forage. Whether you require a single container or recurring monthly volumes, we structure shipments on EXW, FOB, CIF, CFR or DDP terms to match your market and cash-flow needs.
About Alfalfa Hay
Alfalfa Hay is a key traded product within our Animal Feed division and one of the most requested lines by importers, distributors and manufacturers we serve across the Middle East, Africa, Asia, Europe and the Americas. Meridian Global operates as a specialist intermediary and exporter: we do not simply resell — we build long-term supply relationships with accredited producers in USA, Spain, GCC, audit their facilities, and take responsibility for the full export cycle so that our clients receive consistent, contract-grade product every shipment. Global demand for alfalfa hay continues to grow as supply chains diversify and buyers seek transparent, compliant sourcing partners. Our role is to remove complexity: you place one order with a UK-registered company and we manage origin negotiation, quality assurance, documentation, financing terms and delivery to your nominated port or door.
Quality, Grades & Standards
Every consignment of alfalfa hay is offered against clearly defined specifications and is independently inspected before shipment. Available grades include Protein-graded, Standard feed grade, Premium / low-fibre. Pre-shipment inspection is carried out by internationally recognised agencies such as SGS, Bureau Veritas or Intertek, and a full Certificate of Analysis accompanies each lot. We align to relevant international standards for animal feed, and where your destination market imposes additional requirements — phytosanitary controls, halal certification, veterinary health attestation or REACH compliance — we arrange the correct certificates in advance so your cargo clears customs without delay.
Origins & Sourcing
We source alfalfa hay primarily from USA, Spain, GCC. Multiple approved origins give our buyers resilience against seasonal shortages, price spikes and logistical disruption: if one origin is constrained, we can pivot to an alternative without breaking your supply. Our origin teams monitor crop cycles, production runs, freight availability and currency movements to time purchases advantageously on your behalf, and we are transparent about the origin of every lot we ship.
Production & Processing
Production of export-grade alfalfa hay follows a controlled process from raw material intake through processing, grading, quality testing and packing. Producers in our network operate under documented food-safety or industrial quality systems, with traceability from batch to bill of lading. Product is processed and packed in export-compliant facilities, sampled at multiple stages, and released only when it meets the agreed contractual specification.
Packaging, Loading & Logistics
Alfalfa Hay is available in a range of packaging formats to suit retail, food-service, industrial and bulk buyers. Container loading is optimised to maximise payload while protecting product integrity in transit. As a full-service exporter we handle booking, container stuffing supervision, marine insurance, and all shipping documentation.
