AFA met TDFA for the first time in November 2006 during the former’s regional event in Vietnam and then again in Taiwan last May 2007 during an AsiaDHRRA event. In both occasions, TDFA expressed its interest to join AFA as a regular member.
TDFA submitted its formal application and profile last May 31, 2007.
As stated in AFA’s constitution and bylaws, the Execom can approve a membership application and submit it to the General Assembly, which will be held in February 2008.

TDFA brings with it important technologies and experiences in the dairy industry, which other farmers in Southeast Asia can learn from.
