Alfalfa Seeds Exporter to Jordan — Pakistan Alfalfa Seed Supplier

Jordan is one of the most water-scarce countries on earth, yet it runs a modern dairy industry around Amman, Zarqa and Mafraq and a large sheep sector across the Badia. Every litre of irrigation has to produce maximum fodder, which is why Jordanian growers choose alfalfa genetics carefully. Kohenoor International, exporting from Hyderabad, Sindh since 1957, supplies non-dormant, heat- and salt-tolerant alfalfa seed (Medicago sativa, HS 1209.21) at 99% purity, 85%+ germination, dodder-free, shipped FOB Karachi to Aqaba in 7-9 days with documentation prepared for the Ministry of Agriculture.

Why Jordanian Farms Choose Pakistani Alfalfa Seed

Jordan’s alfalfa is grown on treated wastewater in the Jordan Valley, on brackish wells in Azraq and Mafraq, and under strict water quotas everywhere. Seed multiplied in Sindh under saline irrigation and 45°C summers matches those constraints. Importers in Amman, Irbid, Mafraq and Aqaba buy from Kohenoor International because:

The Jordanian Alfalfa Market: Dairy Around Amman, Sheep on the Badia and Water Quotas

Jordan’s dairy farms are concentrated around Amman, Zarqa, Madaba and Mafraq, with alfalfa grown in the Jordan Valley on reclaimed water and in the eastern desert on groundwater under licence. The country’s sheep and goat herds, the largest part of its livestock economy, depend on purchased hay through the long dry season, and imported alfalfa hay from the Gulf, Sudan and the United States fills the gap at high cost. Growing more alfalfa locally per unit of water is a national priority, and seed genetics are the cheapest lever.

Pakistani non-dormant, salt-tolerant seed fits Jordanian conditions better than temperate-origin seed and lands in Aqaba in about a week. Kohenoor International prepares each consignment with the phytosanitary certificate, certificate of analysis and origin documents the Ministry of Agriculture requires, supports importers with Arabic labelling, and can consolidate alfalfa with Rhodes grass and berseem seed in one container.

Frequently Asked Questions — Alfalfa Seeds to Jordan

What is the minimum order for alfalfa seed to Jordan?

Our MOQ is 1 metric ton (40 x 25 kg bags), enough for roughly 40-50 hectares. Dairy farms and distributors typically order 2-10 MT per season; volume pricing applies from 5 MT, and alfalfa can be consolidated with Rhodes grass or berseem seed.

Which alfalfa variety suits Jordan’s water conditions?

Non-dormant FD 8-10 lines with salinity tolerance suit the Jordan Valley and the eastern desert wells, giving 8-10 cuts a year and persisting on brackish or reclaimed water. For the cooler highlands around Irbid and Ajloun, a semi-dormant FD 7-8 line can be supplied.

How long does shipping take from Karachi to Aqaba?

Typically 7-9 days by direct Red Sea service, plus one day by road to Amman. Allow 7-10 days for processing and booking, so plan 3 weeks from order to farm.

Is the seed accepted by the Jordanian Ministry of Agriculture?

Every lot is cleaned to remove dodder (Cuscuta) and quarantine weed seeds, tested and certified. The phytosanitary certificate is issued to match Jordanian import conditions; the importer obtains the Ministry import permit and we align all documents to it.

What payment terms do Jordanian importers use with Kohenoor?

Most Jordanian buyers pay by T/T (30% with the order, 70% against the bill of lading copy) or by irrevocable letter of credit at sight from a Jordanian bank. Prices are quoted in USD, FOB Karachi, CFR or CIF Aqaba.
