The main goal is to develop and extend the Avocado consumption in Europe, along with inspection on domestic markets of the members (plus other markets as well), where applications from one field can be learnt and applied in other. AMAP is a unique model with special inspiration: “Cooperation of competitors” from all over the world, with common understanding that it is much more beneficial “to act together on enlarging the cake than to fight on its slices”. This basic idea was firstly discussed at informal meeting of various exporters during the '4th World Avocado Congress' (Uruapan, Mexico 1999), where it was agreed to meet once a year and to modify numerous existing connections from being 'bi-lateral' to be 'multi-lateral'. Further many steps, for tightening the relationships, were taken in the past dozen years. Nowadays, there is permanent weekly data exchange. The group has twice a year meetings where many subjects are presented and discussed, like marketing, promotion, future supply programs, developments, new ideas etc'.
