Farmers constituencies

Recognising the shared nature of farming challenges across the world, and the fact that millions of smallholders in the developing world live in poverty, a number of farmers’ organisations in OECD countries have entered the arena of international cooperation. For this matter they created, so-called ‘agri-agencies’ (non-governmental organisations for development cooperation linked to farmers’ organisations in their home countries), or joined as associate members.

All agri-agencies have established long-term working relationships with farmers’ organisations in many developing countries. AgriCord members are the following seven agri-agencies, each representing their respective national farmers’ organisations.
