# Alfalfa reaches €264/t as Spain prepares a 525,000-hectare forage campaign in 2026/2027

> Spain expects to plant 524,700 hectares of alfalfa, vetch and forage maize in 2026, 1% more than the previous year. The Agriculture Ministry reported that dehydrated alfalfa prices recovered to €264.2 per tonne for bales and €219.3 for pellets, while national processed-forage output fell 12.1%.

## Why it matters

Lower processed-forage output alongside recovering alfalfa prices points to tighter availability and support for alfalfa values. The modest increase in total forage area may partly offset that pressure.
