The National Pork Producers Council (NPPC) has been especially busy this year. The pork industry started winning early this year when the Trump administration released the new Dietary Guidelines in January. NPPC President-Elect Pat Hord said the new guidelines are exciting for pork producers.
There’s also been a lot of attention this year on finalizing the U.S. Swine Health Improvement Plan (U.S. SHIP), which has a couple of policy pieces attached to it. Hord said the NPPC helped move that policy forward.
The Environmental Protection Agency also recently abandoned an emissions estimating study containing data from twenty years ago. Hord said that was a big win for pork producers.
Hord said the NPPC has also been involved in fighting back against Mexico’s anti-dumping investigation to prevent countervailing duties on U.S. pork products.
