French term or phrase: IAA
"Cet objectif de pilotage de l'agriculture par la demande semble oublier ou sous-estimer que dans une large mesure cela a bien été le cas durant ces dernières décennies. La demande qui a alors joué un rôle est en particulier celle des IAA (industries agroalimentaires assurant la transformation des produits) et surtout de façon croissante celle de la grande distribution".

Do we have an acronym for this in English?

Explanation:
I have never come across an acronym in English equivalent to IAA. "Agri-food industry" is the most used term in all relevant sources (food research reports, etc.). Examples: http://www.ifr.ac.uk/science/consultations/priorities.html
http://www.bbsrc.ac.uk/science/areas/af.html
