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.
