Workshop on Role of Commodity Associations in Asia and the Pacific, 11-13 November 2008 |
Introduction
Associations in the agricultural sector are to be found throughout the world. They can play an important role in representing the particular interests of their members and may conduct a broad range of other activities, such as product promotion, quality development, training, and information provision. Some associations bring together a broad spectrum of interest groups related to a particular commodity in a particular country with farmers, traders, processors, input suppliers and other stakeholders represented in the association. FAO refers to this type of association as a commodity association, whether for export, for the domestic market or for both. Because these draw membership from the entire chain they tend to have much greater strength when advocating policy or regulatory changes than associations representing just one individual interest group, such as farmers, processors or exporters.
