> Spain plans to devote 524,700 hectares to forage crops in the 2026/2027 campaign, 1% more than the previous campaign. Alfalfa area is expected to remain stable, vetch area to rise 4.7%, and forage maize area to fall 3%; the ministry also reported that dehydrated forage output fell 12% in the previous campaign.

## Why it matters

The slight increase in total forage area suggests broadly stable supply, while the decline in dehydrated output and recovering prices could support alfalfa values. Reduced forage-maize acreage may modestly limit local forage supply.
