The Arkansas Plant Food Association (APFA) is a statewide nonprofit trade association founded in 1955 to support Arkansas agriculture through education and promotion of responsible plant nutrition practices. The organization works to advance the effective and sustainable use of fertilizers and lime, disseminate research-based agronomic information, and foster collaboration among agricultural retailers, producers, consultants, and the University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture to improve crop yields, protect natural resources, and strengthen farm profitability.
APFA typically supports policies related to fertilizer regulation, nutrient stewardship, soil fertility management, agricultural education, crop production, environmental stewardship, and state and federal agricultural programs affecting plant nutrition and farm profitability.
Primarily funded through membership dues, industry sponsorships, and event and conference fees from fertilizer distributors, agricultural retailers, and related agribusinesses operating in Arkansas.
