Background

Australian Native Food and Botanicals (ANFAB) is the peak national body which represents all interests in the rapidly growing Australian native food and botanical industry.

ANFAB (previously operating as ANFIL - Australia Native Food Industry Limited) is the peak industry body representing the interests of people and businesses involved in the Native food and botanicals industry - traditional and new indigenous plant products. In 2017 we developed the trading name Australian Native Food & Botanicals (ANFAB) to better reflect the growing industry.

ANFAB is a not-for-profit organisation, with broad involvement in the development the native foods industry on a national scale. Encompassing national advocacy and lobbying on behalf of the industry, ANFAB has taken the lead in working with industry, federal and state governments and other organizations to determine and prioritise research and development and market development strategies required to progress the industry into the future.

Promoting the reputation of Australian native foods and botanicals, ANFAB works as an industry advocate, both nationally and internationally, in areas of critical importance such as FSANZ and CODEX classifications, food quality and safety, and research into the nutritional and functional benefits of Australian native foods.

ANFAB facilitates and promotes commercialisation activities, and liases with indigenous communities and organisations. It promotes dissemination of skills, knowledge and expertise among its members, and encourages individuals, associations, businesses and others interested in promoting the native food industry to get involved.
