The Agricultural Retailers Association (ARA) is a national trade association representing agricultural retailers and distributors that provide crop inputs, services, and technologies to farmers. Its mission is to advocate for policies that support agricultural retailers and promote a strong, sustainable food and fiber supply chain.
ARA typically advocates for federal and state policies related to pesticide regulation, fertilizer policy, environmental compliance, transportation and infrastructure, tax policy, farm bill programs, workforce and labor issues, and supply chain regulations affecting agricultural inputs and crop protection products.
ARA is primarily funded through membership dues from agricultural retailers, distributors, manufacturers, and industry partners, as well as conference and event revenue.
ARA collaborates with national and state agribusiness associations, crop protection and fertilizer industry groups, and agricultural supply chain stakeholders.
