EFA

European Forage Association (EFA) has evolved originally from the French trade association CIPF and now acts as a platform to bring members from hay and straw associations from across Europe, together, for the mutual benefit of all. 

Objectives

• To facilitate the international exchange of straw, fodder, and derivatives.
• To defend, on an international level, the common interests of member organisations regarding the “product”,
  the “professions” of dealers in straw, fodder, and derivatives, and the “commercial function” in general.
• To represent the profession within and around official international organisations.

Through these objectives, the association seeks to attain:

• The study of all commercial questions relating to straw, fodder and derivatives.
• The permanent improvement in contact between member organisations.
• The establishment of international trading conditions, arbitration rules and practices.
• In general terms, all other appropriate measures.
