What organization lobbies Congress on behalf of pork producers?

The National Pork Producers Council (NPPC) is the organization that actively lobbies Congress on behalf of pork producers. This group focuses on advocating for the interests and needs of the pork industry, representing producers in issues related to policy, trade, marketing, and regulation. The NPPC works to influence legislation that affects pork producers, fighting for favorable laws and regulations that can benefit their financial viability and operations.

In contrast, while the National Pork Board helps promote pork products and educate consumers, it does not engage in lobbying activities. The American Farm Bureau Federation represents a wide range of agricultural interests but is more generalized and does not focus exclusively on pork producers. The National Cattlemen's Beef Association specifically advocates for cattle ranchers and beef producers, thereby not aligning with the interests of pork producers.
