The Organic Federation of Australia (OFA) was established in 1998 as the representative industry body for the organic & biodynamic industry in Australia.
Our role is to work in co-operation with all sectors of industry and government to develop the Australian Organic Industry from a niche industry into a significant component of Australian agriculture and deliver benefits & growth to consumers, producers, processors, retailers and the Australian environment. Australia has the potential for a strong and vibrant domestic & export industry in organics, currently growing over 15% annually, in an industry worth in excess of $1.72B in Australia.
