FOSFA International Secretariat

The FOSFA International Secretariat is based in London and provides the administrative and technical support that enables the Federation to fulfil its governance responsibilities to members and deliver the operational and strategic objectives agreed by Council and its Committees.  

Our small team works with the sixty-five people from the trade that serve on our Council and five specialist committees including: Oils and Fats, Oilseeds, Technical, Arbitration & Appeals and Contracts. In addition, we work with our Kindred Associations around the world through partnership and collaboration to promote and fulfil our objectives.  

We also organise FOSFA International events that include the Annual Dinner, Oils & Fats Dinner and our two residential education courses.

 We look forward to meeting many of you throughout the year and assisting and supporting your ongoing membership of FOSFA International.
