“We base our decisions on where
to put the producer’s dollars on
input and recommendations from
producers. By improving our pro
duct through research, educating
consumers about today’s pork,
then promoting pork, the entire
pork industry will benefit,”
Rosendale said.
Under the Pork Act, the law that
provides for the checkoff pro
gram, the National Pork Producers
Council (NPPC) is guaranteed
25% of the checkoff dollars until
October 1, 1989. These funds are
used in coordination with other
checkofr funds for promotions
like Pork- The Other White Meat*,
research and consumer education.
The Pork Industry Group of the
National Live Stock and Meat
Board (PIG) will receive 20 per
cent of the NPPC guaranteed
funding through an existing
arrangement between the two
organizations. PIG funds ate util
ized primarily in the areas of
information and education of
health professionals and meat sci
ence research.
Approximately 21 percent of
the producer funds, $5.46 million,
will be returned to the states for
their use in promotion, research
and education programs. The
Board also budgeted $1.2 million
for its own operating costs.

NPPC and PIG for various promo

discretionary funds will be util
ized by' NPPC in the areas of
promotion, research, education,
foreign market development, and
producer communications, incliid
ing $7.5 million for pork advertis
ing. Pork - The Other White Meat*
advertising will appear on televi
sion in approximately 20 major
metropolitan areas and in nearly
30 national magazines. In addi
tion, more than $2 million has
been earmarked for retail mer
chandising programs designed to
increase pork’s space in the
meatcase.
The PIG will use nearly $1.2 in
discretionary checkoff dollars for
consumer information, education,
nutrition research and new pro
duct development programs to
enhance pork’s position as a
healthful, nutritious and tasteful
source of protein.
Glenn Grimes, University of
Missouri agriculture economist,
estimates that demand for pork
increased approximately 3 percent
in 1987 and has increased an addi
tional 3-4 percent in 1988. Pro
grams funded by the checkoff,
according to Grimes, may be part
ly responsible for that apparent
increase in demand.
