The West African Fertilizer Association (WAFA) is the umbrella association of all players in the
fertilizer sector of the West African region, including fertilizer manufacturers, importers,
blenders and traders. The association was created primarily to serve as a platform for
cooperation amongst its members in the quest to champion the development of the fertilizer
sector in the region as a means of improving agricultural production and food security of the
ECOWAS member states. The vision of WAFA is to effectively bring together all the
professionals in fertilizer sector to have a common voice and action towards promoting
sustainable, rational and efficient use of fertilizer in agriculture within the ECOWAS region.

rapidly grown in size and function and has become the voice of the private sector in the
fertilizer sector. The members of the association together represent over 85% of the fertilizer
trade in West Africa.
