AFMA - Centurion, South Africa

AFMA represents the animal feed industry on various committees and platforms where it is necessary to enhance or protect the interests of Industry. The Balanced Feed Manufacturers Association was established in 1945 after Industry identified the need for a structured industry body taking care of Industry's interests and being the official mouthpiece of the feed industry to liaise with inter alia the government, when necessary. The Association was very involved in various aspects of the feed industry and at some stages, even imported raw materials for feed manufacturing. In 1988 the Association's name was changed to the Animal Feed Manufacturers Association and it was registered as an Article 21 company. In 1990 it was decided to use "AFMA" as the acronym for both Afrikaans and English.
