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.
Being involved with SIP gives you a chance to make a difference when decisions are made regarding the future of the U.S. pork industry. A significant share of the money from the program is returned to support state organizations. The ability to use these unrestricted non-checkoff funds better equips state organizations and NPPC to respond to today’s threats on the state and national level. Producers agree to contribute .10/$100 of market value. Contract growers pay .10/$100 of gross contract value. Employees can pay $100 per year.
