European Fertiliser Blenders Association
The European Fertiliser Blenders Association (EFBA) is the leading voice of the European blended fertiliser industry.
EFBA was founded in June 1993 by the Association Française de Commercialisation et de Mélange d‘Engrais (AFCOME) and the German Bundesverband der Düngermischer e.V.
EFBA is an alliance of European associations, whose members are intensively involved in plant nutrition in the form of mineral and organic-mineral fertilisation and application of fertiliser blends.
The aim of the association is to promote exchange between members and to share experience in the field of fertilisers and fertiliser blends.
It deals in detail with issues relating to legally compliant and technically innovative approaches in the fertiliser and plant nutrition segment.
The association also monitors the European market for fertilisers along with EU Fertiliser Products Regulation and the development of harmonised CEN standards.
Essentially, the work involves optimising the chemical and physical properties of fertilisers and, in particular, fertiliser blends. These efforts are intended to promote targeted, needs-oriented and sustainable plant nutrition – where fertiliser blends make a significant contribution.
The production of and trade in fertiliser blends is monitored with regard to Technical, Legal and Political issues.
The transfer into practice is largely implemented by the private companies and cooperatives that are members of EFBA through their national associations.
EFBA observes the market for fertilisers in Europe and raises regulatory issues with the authorities.

EFBA is managed by a Board consisting of a President, a Vice President and a Secretary General.
These are elected in rotation for 3 years.
The President convenes the General Assemblies and Board meetings and is supported by the General Secretary, who is also responsible for all correspondence and plays a key role in organising day-to-day business.
One full member is accepted as a representative association for each European country.
In addition to the willingness to provide technical and financial support to EFBA, the prerequisite is a connection to fertiliser blending and the approval of the majority of the association’s existing members.
