“It is an honour to represent the most renowned European feed phosphate solution makers within IFP Working Group at CEFIC.
Phosphate as a key element in metabolism and the backbone of animal DNA, plays a crucial role as functional raw material in animal nutrition.
Therefore, our IFP Group performs a crucial role as well and we bear responsibility to respond to current challenges in the animal feeding industry that revolve around feed performance, optimization, animal health & well-being and sustainability.
Moreover, we will continue on our level to participate in securing and promoting European food sovereignity.
As a new Chair of IFP Working Group , I therefore commit to continue and fully involve in promoting the highest European quality standards from factory to farm and carry strongly the voice of our Group members.
Thank you for your trust & support”
The IFP members expressed their gratitude to Caroline Biard (Phosphea) for her engagement and dedication.

Phosphate feed producers endorse FEFAC’s 5 ambitions for sustainability
In a release dated 7th of December 2020, the European producers of inorganic feed phosphates welcome the recent publication by FEFAC of its Feed Sustainability Charter 2030 and endorse the 5 ambitions it sets for the European feed sector as a whole. They intend to bring their contribution to the ongoing endeavor of the feed sector towards more sustainable farming.
European inorganic feed phosphates producers commit to sustainability
Since inorganic phosphates used for animal feeding come from a finite mineral resource, it is vital to minimize the pressure on available reserves by producing the highest quality and most digestible feed additives.
