The American Association of AgLabor Provider’s (AAALP) vision, mission, code of conduct. and priorities reflect our commitment to fostering a U.S. agricultural labor provider industry that champions professionalism, safety, and responsibility across the supply chain.
Our Story
The American Association of AgLabor Providers (AAALP) was founded to address a critical gap in the U.S. agricultural sector: the need for education, capacity-building, and a collaborative network tailored to farm labor contractors (FLCs) and recruiters. These businesses play an essential role in recruiting, managing, and supplying labor to U.S. farms but often face unique challenges in navigating complex legal and operational landscapes. In consultation with industry leaders, AAALP was created to meet these needs and elevate standards across the supply chain in responsible recruitment and fair labor practices.
Guided by a Development Advisory Committee (DAC) composed of agricultural associations, FLCs, recruiters, government representatives, and academics, AAALP has built its foundation on industry insights and shared goals.
Established by Stronger Together US, AAALP is the first and only national association dedicated to supporting FLCs and recruiters through education and community-building.
