French National Alliance for Alpaca Professions
Welcome to ANIM‑Alpaga
A French cross-sector body dedicated to promoting and developing the professions of the alpaca sector.
Join us and help the alpaca sector grow in France!
Who we are
The French National Alliance for Alpaca Professions was founded to meet a growing need to professionalise the alpaca sector in France. We bring together, across the country, professionals passionate about the alpaca and its remarkable fibre.
Only an animal in perfect physical and mental health can produce a quality fibre.
Our training
A range of specialised courses for everyone in the alpaca sector, from setting up to selling.
Alpaca breeding
Learn the fundamentals of breeding — care, feeding, reproduction and herd management — right through to expert courses that safeguard animal welfare.
Fibre processing
Build your processing and finishing skills through hands-on workshops: from raw fleece to finished product.
Selling & marketing
Master the strategies for selling alpaca-fibre products: direct sales, markets and online shops.
Project support
Gain the skills to run your business in the sector: financial planning, administration and regulatory compliance.
A threefold mission
Animal welfare
Upholding the physical and mental health of our alpacas without compromise: it is the first condition of a quality fibre.
Economic viability
Securing the livelihood of everyone in the sector: breeding, fibre processing, and high-value French products, fairly paid.
Society’s expectations
Meeting society’s legitimate expectations: sustainable, eco-responsible farms, agri-tourism, educational farms and animal-assisted activities.
What we offer the sector
Practical tools for breeders, processors and camelid enthusiasts.
