The Animal and Plant Health Association (APHA) is the representative body for manufacturers and sole distributors of animal health (veterinary medicines) and plant health (plant protection/agrochemical) products in Ireland. These industries play a vital role in providing high quality food at an economic cost whilst protecting the environment.

APHA represents the interests of its members to Government, related industries and the general public.

To ensure Ireland is represented at European level, APHA is a member of the ECPA (European Crop Protection Association) and the IFAH (International Federation for Animal Health).
