Asian Food and Feed Insect Association (AFFIA)

AFFIA is an industry association representing players from across the insect sector value-chain, including; manufacturers, distributors, traders, processors, researchers and regulators. With distribution from Israel to China & Australia and a membership of 36 in both food & feed, AFFIA represents approximatively 40% of all insect-related players in Asia.Established in 2016, AFFIA and its members believe that for the global food chain to be sustainable, ethical and efficient, it needs to integrate insects as a source of nutrients for human food and animal feed. With this shared passion, AFFIA aims to promote entomoculture and entomophagy both regionally and internationally, support national initiatives and solve challenges, as well as represent Asia in the global insect industry.As part of the Global Roundtable for Insect Agriculture (GRIA), AFFIA works closely with the Australian IPAA, the European IPIFF and the American NACIA on issues affecting the wider insect industry, so has a truly global reach.
