Abstract: With the rapid increase of milk consumption demand and the continuous promotion of “alfalfa action to revitalize the dairy industry” and “grain to feed”, the development of alfalfa industry in China has ushered in new opportunities and entered a period of rapid development. The development characteristics and trend of alfalfa industry in China were analyzed from the aspects of production characteristics and trade characteristics of Alfalfa in China. The results showed that the alfalfa yield increased significantly, the degree of specialization and standardization increased, the planting areas were more concentrated, and the unit yield showed an upward trend; alfalfa imports accounted for a large proportion, but the import source countries expanded to diversification; with the rapid increase of milk consumption, the demand for high\|quality alfalfa would further increased. It was suggested to take the revitalization of dairy industry as an opportunity to continuously promote the development of alfalfa industry; increase investment in alfalfa science and technology, rely on scientific and technological innovation to develop alfalfa industry; focus on the domestic market, make full use of both domestic and foreign markets and resources, and take multiple measures to promote the healthy development of alfalfa industry.

摘要： 随着奶类消费需求快速增加和“振兴奶业苜蓿行动”“粮改饲”持续推进，我国苜蓿产业发展迎来新的机遇，进入较快发展期。从我国苜蓿的生产特征、贸易特征等方面分析了我国苜蓿产业发展现状与趋势。研究发现，我国苜蓿产量显著增加，专业化、规范化程度不断提高，种植区域更加集中，单位产量呈上升趋势；进口苜蓿占比较大，但进口来源国向多元化拓展；伴随奶类消费较快增长，优质苜蓿需求将进一步提高。建议以奶业振兴为契机，持续推动苜蓿产业发展；加大苜蓿科技投入，依靠科技创新发展苜蓿产业；以国内市场为主，充分利用国内国外两个市场、两种资源，多措并举推动苜蓿产业健康发展。
