UFOP-Imagefolder "Sow ideas, harvest success!"
In 1990, the German Farmers' Association (Deutscher Bauernverband e. V.) and the German Plant Breeders' Association (Bundesverband Deutscher Pflanzenzüchter e. V.) founded the Union for the Promotion of Oil and Protein Crops (Union zur Förderung von Oel- und Proteinpflanzen e. V.) or UFOP for short. In an association structure that remains unique to this day, UFOP represents the political interests of companies, associations and institutions that are involved in the production, processing and marketing of domestic oil and protein plants in national and international committees.
