KTF Organisation is a service company for a number of industry associations regarding chemical products. The primary focus is on legislative issues.
For many issues, policy is created together with the members. Newsletters to member companies is an association-specific service. External monitoring provides the opportunity to participate in the public debate. One important part of the business is the provision of training for members and other stakeholders. Regular meetings are held with government agencies, the retail sector and other stakeholders. There are both Scandinavian and European networks.
Vision
Our vision is that the Swedish Crop Protection Association is the leading organisation in Sweden for facts and knowledge regarding crop protection.
Our objectives are:
• To create understanding, and spread knowledge, of the need for and benefit of plant protection products in Sweden.
• To provide knowledge and information about techniques and products for Swedish agriculture for the sustainable production of healthy and affordable food, which still complies with the expected quality. All of this must happen in accordance with the overarching objectives of the Swedish national food strategy.
• To pursue questions about laws and regulations for competition-neutral Swedish regulations, relative to our environment in the EU.
