The Strategic Investment Program (SIP) is the primary source of funds for the National Pork Producers Council. As Investors, you will help NPPC:

  • Fight for reasonable legislation and regulation.
  • Develop revenue and market opportunities.
  • Protect your livelihood.

The program was started to ensure that adequate funding is available for critical programs focused on public policy, including legislative and regulatory issues management, as well as trade issues. As an investor, you will have a voice in NPPC policy development.

By enrolling in SIP, you are assured a seat at the table when decisions are made regarding the future of the U.S. pork industry. Producers agree to contribute .10/$100 of market value. Contract growers pay .10/$100 of gross contract value. Employees can pay $100 per year. A significant share of the program dollars is returned to support state organizations. The ability to use these unrestricted funds better equips state organizations and NPPC to respond to today’s threats on the state and national level. Learn more here.

You agree that the Markets listed below (“Participating Markets”) will deduct an amount (“Contribution”) currently at $.10 per $100 in value, from any sales of swine to them. The contribution rate will be determined by the National Pork Producers Council (NPPC) Delegate Body. I will be notified in writing by NPPC of any changes to the Contribution at least 45 days prior to the change taking effect. The Participating Markets will transfer the Contribution to NPPC.
