Associate members

The following are eligible for Associate Membership of the Commission: national or international scientific, technical or professional bodies or establishments interested in the development of the agricultural or food industries. Applications for associate membership are made to the Secretary general of the Commission, who will forward to the Executive Committee.

The Executive Committee pronounces by a two-thirds majority on applications for associate membership.

Associate members have the same rights and obligations as full members. However, they have no voting rights and their delegates are not eligible for office in any of the Commission’s organs.



The members can call upon the whole services of the Commission. In particular, they:

- profit from particular conditions of registration for their collaborators to the congresses, training seminars and other events organised by the CIIA. Their annual dues constitute an advance on fees.

- receive free the review « IAA Industries Alimentaires et Agricoles - AgroFood Industries » (diffused in 5,000 copies for each 10 issues per year in 90 countries) of which CIIA is one of the three cofounders. The members can publish articles and official statements there.

- are integrated in a network of experts of the agrofood sector and its international environment. This network allows them to multiply contacts with policy makers and top managers, meetings between company departments and research laboratories, opportunities towards setting up new partnerships, possibilities of “cross-fertilisation” between the food activity and the other sectors.
