Context

Administrative/Biographical history:

The London Cattle Food Trade Association was formed in 1906 by members of the London Corn Trade Association (CLC/B/103-08) who traded in vegetable proteins used as animal feeding stuffs and who felt the need for a separate organisation to represent their specialist interests. Its aims were similar to those of the London Corn Trade Association, namely to establish uniform contracts and bills of lading, provide a system for arbitration (including the testing of quality samples), and to promote legislation and other measures on behalf of the trade.

Based at 8 Catherine Court until 1912, the association subsequently moved to 50 Mark Lane (1913-20), 50/1 Lime Street (1921-1923), 84 Leadenhall Street (1924-1958), 5/7 Houndsditch (1959-1967) and 52/7 Mark Lane (1968-1971). In 1923, it transferred the responsibility for its routine office work and administration to United Associations Ltd (CLC/B/103-12). In 1965, the association dropped "London" from its title, and invited representatives from kindred associations in Europe to attend meetings of its council.

In 1971, it joined with the London Corn Trade Association to form the Grain and Feed Trade Association (GAFTA).
