Résumé : Liberalisation of developing country agricultural markets has created a need for industry representative organisations (IROs), both to articulate industry concerns to government and to aid in implementation of sector policies. We consider the roles of IROs is a group of African coffee producing countries, and examine the extent to which pre-existing parastatal organisations have been able to fulfil these functions. We also compare the effectiveness of these organisations with their longer established Latin America counterparts, and ask to what extent the Latin American experience is replicable in Africa. The paper makes recommendations with regard to future roles for IROs. This paper is based on a study undertaken by Gilbert and ter Wengel for the World Bank and the Common Fund for Commodities (CFC). We are grateful to Jan van Hilten and Rob Simmons for comments on the initial draft of the paper. The views expressed are those of the authors alone, and not those of either the World Bank or the CFC.
