DES MOINES, lowa The
nation’s pork producers are
investing more than $3B million
this year in programs to strengthen
the position of pork in the mark
etplace and to expand and develop
markets for pork products in this
country and foreign markets.
Money for pork promotion,
research, and consumer informa
tion programs comes from a
national legislative checkoff prog
ram that started in 1986. Produc
ers selling breeding stock, feeder
pigs or market hogs, as well as
importers of hogs and pork pro
ducts, contribute .35 of one per
cent of the market value (35 cents
per $lOO value) to the checkoff
program.
The National Pork Board con

National Pork Producers Council
(NPPC) and the Pork Industry
Group of the National Live Stock

NPPC coordinates national pro
duct promotion and marketing
efforts in addition to production
research and producer education
projects. The checkoff program
has enabled the pork industry to
establish pork as a versatile, nutri
tious protein alternative to con
sumers, thanks to the highly suc
cessful Pork-The Other White
Meat® national advertising cam
paign which includes network
television, radio, and magazine
ads.
Consumer information prog
rams alert food editors across the
country to the nutritional value
and versatility of today’s leaner
pork. Checkoff funds are being
invested in research and education
programs that will have a positive
impact on the future direction of
the pork industry in such areas as
