Uniting the Organic Industry
The Organic Federation of Australia (OFA) was established in 1998
as the peak body for the organic 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 major component of Australian agriculture and
deliver benefits to consumers, producers and the Australian environment

Organic Update
The OFA fulfills a unifying national role for the
organic industry by representing the interests of Australia's organic
and biodynamic producers to industry and governments at the local, State
and Federal level.
The OFA does not certify farmers. Our role is to
work with all of the organic industry to further our common aims
The OFA is the only fully representative
National Organic Body and includes all sectors of the industry: Certifiers,
horticulture, broadacre agriculture, meat production, wholesalers, exporters,
retailers, consumers, processors, IFOAM, inspectors, regional organisations,
education and research.

me and the new Standard is due for completion by the end of
