Spain's Agriculture Ministry estimates that forage area will reach 525,000 hectares in 2026/2027, up 1% from the previous campaign and 2% from the five-campaign average. Alfalfa area is expected to hold steady, vetch area to rise 4.7%, and forage maize area to decline 3%; the previous campaign produced around 15 million tonnes of green forage.
The modest increase in total planted area points to broadly stable forage availability, but lower dehydrated-forage output in the previous campaign could support alfalfa prices. A smaller forage-maize area may slightly reduce local feed supply.
