Encyclopedia : N : NA : NAT : National Farmers' Federation

The National Farmers' Federation (NFF) is an Australian organisation made up of constituent state-level farmers' organisations, national commodity councils, and other affiliated members.

According to the NFF charter, state-level farmers' organisations represent the interests of the agricultural sector in their respective states while issues related to individual commodities or interstate/national farming concerns are represented by relevant national commodity councils. The NFF council comprises delegates from each state and territory representing primary producers on the commodity councils of their respective industry.

The Federation was created in 1979. The organisation was incorporated in July 2001. David Crombie, of Queensland, has been president of the organisation since June 2006.
