Agrární komora České republiky (AK ČR)

The chamber of Czech agricultural, forestry and food businesses, set up by Act No. 301/1992 and active since 1993. It is built from district (okresní) and regional agrarian chambers and from sector associations (společenstva). It represents its members in law-making, provides advice and information services, and is a member of Copa-Cogeca.

Membership is voluntary (zákon č. 301/1992 Sb. § 5 odst. 3). Any natural or legal person based in the Czech Republic that runs an agricultural, food or forestry business can join. You apply in writing to your district agrarian chamber (or through a sector association); the district chamber's board decides on admission.
