Abstract

The lack of high quality forage in China results in a negative extremely situation in the global animal husbandry products trade, which led to China livestock trade sit the unfavorable situation. The alfalfa production does not match with the great power status of grassland industry of China. Therefore, Chinese alfalfa industrial regional research is imperative. In this article, the current status and future potential of alfalfa production development are analyzed and relevant policy recommendations are proposed. From 4 aspect including strength, weakness, opportunities and threat, Chinese4 alfalfa production zone had been explored via utilize of SWOT model. In this paper, the key conclusions are as follows: 1) Chinese alfalfa industry locate in a severe deficit condition in global alfalfa commerce, extreme behind the global preponderant alfalfa nation, the gap of homebred alfalfa especially high-value alfalfa still depend on imported alfalfa to fill, the commerce deficit between year 2000 to 2013 is 666.9 thousand t. 2) Northwest and northern China alfalfa acreage take up the massive majority of China. In the case of year 2014, northwest and north China account for about 91% of China, among, the northwest area (66%) and the North China district (25%); Northeastern and southern area merely take up about 9% of China, among, the Northeast (5%) and the South (4%). 3) Chinese 4mainalfalfa industry zone sought follow territorial tactic: Northwest and north of China ought apply actively the era opportunity of "The Belt and Road" and 2022 Olympic winter games in Beijing-Zhangjiakou, introduce forward-thinking technology of overseas alfalfa industry; The northeast section ought to intensify the study efforts of alfalfa allowance as well as cold-resistant seed. Southern district would exaggerate utilize ratio of winter vacant field, take full advantage of territorial market driven. It can be realized that extra up hold the mega-agricultural growth route of grassland agriculture in China.
