The Australian Fodder Industry Association invites interested parties to the Gold Coast for this year’s National Fodder Conference.

The fodder industry is one of the most important industries in Australian agriculture, underpinning production in dairy, livestock, horticulture and other intensive industries.

In addition to a domestic focus, the Australian industry is now a significant contributor to Australian exports, with fodder products exported to China, Japan, Taiwan, Korea and the Middle East.

The Australian Fodder Industry Association (AFIA) is the independent, peak national body for the Australia’s fodder industry.

Since its establishment, AFIA has supported the growth of the sector through:

• the generation and analysis of industry data;

• hosting events to support connections, learning, engagement and information sharing;

• engagement in research and development (R&D) priorities; and

• industry advocacy to ensure a positive operating environment both locally and globally.
