Description
The organisation was formed on 2 December 1959 through the merger of the Plantation Workers International Federation and the International Landworkers' Federation. It represented agricultural and plantation workers globally, including former affiliates of the defunct International Federation of Tobacco Workers.
In 1988, it pioneered international collective bargaining by signing an agreement with Danone.
In 1994, IFPAW merged into the International Union of Food and Allied Workers' Associations, which was renamed to reflect its broader representation across food, agriculture, hospitality, and tobacco sectors.
