The article cites a Zhengzhou forage source giving a price of 1,000–1,500 yuan per tonne for dry alfalfa and 2,000–3,000 yuan per tonne for other listed dry forage grasses. It also compares estimated alfalfa yields, costs and returns with wheat and corn, presenting alfalfa as a more profitable planting option in its example.
The price figures provide a local reference, while the profitability comparison could encourage acreage shifts toward alfalfa over time. The article does not report a new supply or demand shock likely to move broader feed markets.
