Our Mission

PFP’s mission is to represent the European primary food processing industries’ interests, at the level of both European and international institutions. In order to fulfil its mission, PFP has three principal functions:

  1. To promote the European primary food processing industry’s views to the European institutions, international organisations and other interested bodies;
  2. To improve understanding of its operational requirements, especially in responding to Members of the European Parliament, European Commission’s consultative bodies and services, international organisations’ consultations and through liaison with other parties, in particular with the European farmers and partners in the food supply chain;
  3. To provide information and advice to its members on a wide range of common subjects.
