National Pork Producers Council

National Pork Producers Council

Background

The National Pork Producers Council (NPPC) is a Washington, DC-based trade body representing the US pork industry. The NPPC represents “the federal and global interests” of over 60,000 pork producers in 42 states across the US and has an annual revenue of around $15 million.1“National Pork Producers Council Comments on Negotiating Objectives for a U.S.-UK Trade Agreement Docket Number USTR-2018-0036 (PDF),” National Pork Producers Council. Archived August 12, 2020. Archive.fo URL: http://archive.fo/NHczd

The NPPC “fights for reasonable federal legislation and regulations”, “maintains and develops export market opportunities” and “protects producers’ livelihoods”, according to its website. It focuses particularly on the policy areas of “agriculture and industry, animal well-being and food safety, environment and energy, and international trade”.2“Homepage,” National Pork Producers Council. Archived July 23, 2020. Archive.fo URL: http://archive.fo/rjPGF

The NPPC is a member of “Farmers for a Sustainable Future” (FSF), an industry alliance formed by major US agricultural trade bodies including the American Farm Bureau Federation, American Soybean Association and National Cattlemen’s Beef Association in February 2020.3“Farmers for a Sustainable Future Launched,” Farm Progress. Archived August 14, 2020. Archive.fo URL: http://archive.fo/prGnU

The group has been reluctant to refer to human-caused climate change, instead citing “climatic events.” At a press conference in February 2020, the NPPC’s Vice President for Public Affairs and Counsel, Michael Formica, refused to say whether he believed climate change was man-made.4Marc Heller, “Climatic Events’: How farm groups skirt global warming,” E&E News, March 3, 2020. Archived August 14, 2020. Archive.fo URL: http://archive.fo/ZHh6a

During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the NPPC supported the Responding to Epidemic Losses and Investing in the Economic Future (RELIEF) for Producers Act, brought forward by Republican Senators James Inhofe, Joni Ernst, Chuck Grassley and Thom Tillis.5“NPPC Supports Senate Bill to Bolster Hog Farmers in Crisis,” National Pork Producers Council, July 2, 2020. Archived August 14, 2020. Archive.fo URL: https://archive.fo/vic3b

Inhofe is an outspoken climate science denier who once compared the US Environmental Protection Agency to the Gestapo and has received over $2 million in donations from the oil and gas industry. Iowa Senator Ernst has pledged to protect agri-business interests from “undue regulatory burdens,” and credited the Koch Family network of libertarian funders with launching her political career.6Farron Cousins. “Climate Denier Jim Inhofe Goes Full Conspiracy Theorist In Unhinged Rant About Global Warming,” DeSmog, August 2, 2016. 7Tom Hamburger. “Sen.

In 2009, the NPPC lobbied against the Waxman-Markey Bill, an Act put forward by two Democratic Representatives Henry Waxman and Edward Markey proposing to cut emissions by introducing a “cap and trade” system.9“Waxman-Markey Bill,” BusinessGreen, April 1, 2010. Archived August 14, 2020. Archive.fo URL: http://archive.fo/S3kMI

The NPPC spent $1.5 million on lobbying in 2019 and made $432,000 worth of political contributions between 2017-2018, 71 percent of which went to Republican candidates. It ranks among the top 10 percent of spenders for both lobbying and political contributions in the US, according to OpenSecrets data.10“National Pork Producers Council – Lobbying,” OpenSecrets.

The NPPC has a political action committee, PorkPAC, which supports candidates “whose views coincide” with the interests of the industry. Top recipients of PorkPAC funds in 2019-2020 included Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Californian Congressman Devin Nunes and Democratic Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi.12“National Pork Producers Council (PAC),” OpenSecrets.

The NPPC runs an annual trade conference which hosts “more than 20,000 producers and pork professionals” each year, and raised $3 million for the organisation in 2018. Chemicals giant DuPont was among companies due to sponsor its 2020 event, which was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.15“2018 World Pork Expo: Bigger and better than ever,” Iowa Pork Producers Association, March 21, 2018.

Lobbying on a US-UK trade deal

The NPPC has been vocal about its demands for a US-UK trade deal, for which talks officially began in May 2020. A dedicated page on the US-UK trade deal on its website states:18“Trade talks between UK and US set to get under way,” BBC News, May 4, 2020. Archived July 23, 2020. Archive.fo URL: http://archive.fo/D4Ivf

“NPPC would only support a U.S.-U.K. free trade agreement if the U.K. is willing to eliminate all tariff and non-tariff barriers and embrace Codex and other international production standards.”19“United Kingdom,” National Pork Producers Council. Archived July 23, 2020. Archive.fo URL: http://archive.fo/QAEDz

Codex, short for “Codex Alimentarius” is the set of international food standards used by the World Trade Organisation to manage disputes between countries and has been criticised by campaigners for setting significantly lower standards than the EU on key issues including permitted levels of pesticides, animal food additives and growth hormones. In November 2019, the US joined countries including India and Brazil in complaining to the WTO about an EU decision to set tighter standards than Codex on a number of pesticides, including the potential carcinogen, buprofezin.20“The WTO and the FAO/WHO Codex Alimentarius,” WTO.

In January 2019, the NPPC was one of 24 US industry bodies and other associated groups to give evidence to the US-UK Trade Hearing hosted by the US Trade Representative agency. Other witnesses included major trade bodies the National Chicken Council and the American Chemistry Council, as well as the UK thinktank the Institute of Economic Affairs.26“Transcript – Public Hearing on Negotiating Objectives for a US-UK Trade Agreement (PDF),” Trade Policy Staff Committee, Office of the United States Trade Representative.

NPPC Chairman Craig Thorn told the hearing one of its central demands for a US-UK trade deal is the elimination of the current UK ban on ractopamine, a food additive prohibited in over 160 countries over food safety and animal welfare concerns. Ractopamine has been banned in the UK and EU countries since 1996. It is fed to an estimated 60-90 percent of US pigs and has been found to cause trembling, an inability to walk and broken bones in livestock.28Nick Giordano. “Science and fact, not perception, must be the basis of US-UK trade deal,” Pig World, December 7, 2018.

Archive.fo URL: http://archive.fo/uDesO

Another central NPPC demand is for the end of a UK requirement on pork to be tested for the parasite trichinae, which the UK’s Food Standards Agency states can cause fever, muscle pain and headaches, and “affect vital organs and even lead to death” when passed on to humans.32Nick Giordano. “Science and fact, not perception, must be the basis of US-UK trade deal,” Pig World, December 7, 2018.

Stance on Climate Change

The NPPC’s website page on environment and energy states:

“Pork producers…are committed to conserving energy and helping reduce America’s dependence on foreign oil. The industry supports the development and use of alternative and renewable fuels but seeks a level playing field for producers to compete for finite resources.”34“Environment and Energy,” National Pork Producers Council. Archived July 23, 2020. Archive.fo URL: http://archive.fo/aAxuR

February 19, 2020

At the launch of “Farmers for a Sustainable Future,” the NPPC’s Vice President for Public Affairs and Counsel, Michael Formica, refused to say whether climate change was human-caused. In answer to a question from a reporter, Formica stated:

“I don’t know whether it’s human induced or naturally induced…

“…If the climate is changing, we need to address the fact that it’s changing, and ultimately we all need to become more efficient, and that’s the best way to address all of these issues….

“The cause of the challenge is sort of irrelevant to my members. They just want to know what the goal is we have to meet and tell me what the target is.”

Journalists noted a reluctance amongst FSF members, including the American Farm Bureau Federation, to use the term “climate change” at the launch event.35Marc Heller, “Climatic Events’: How farm groups skirt global warming,” E&E News, March 3, 2020.

The NPPC questioned the claim, which has been made by the UN’s International Panel Climate on Change, that a reduction in meat consumption is needed to prevent dangerous levels of climate change. Responding to a report by the EAT-Lancet Commission, a collaboration between the EAT non-profit and the Lancet medical journal, the NPPC stated:36Quirin Schiermeier. “Eat less meat: UN climate-change report calls for change to human diet,” Nature, August 8, 2019.

“…to address sustainability and undernourishment,” then NPPC President Jim Heimerl said,… “maybe the report’s authors should call on the European Union to drop its Draconian ‘precautionary principle’ that all-but prevents the use of new technologies and modern production practices. It’s those kinds of restrictions that are forcing farmers around the world to forego using scientifically proved technologies that produce more food and in a more environmentally friendly way.”41“Call to eat less meat dubious, irresponsible,” National Pork Producers Council, January 17, 2019.

Funding

The NPPC’s total revenue in 2018 was $15.8 million, of which $12 million came from “contributions and grants” and $2 million from membership fees. Other significant sources of funding included its annual trade exhibition, which raised $3 million in 2018.

In 2006, the National Pork Board (NPB), a US Department of Agriculture body, signed an agreement to pay the National Pork Producers Council $3 million a year over twenty years for use of the advertising trademark “the other white meat”. Small pork farmers have criticised the arrangement for channelling public funds to the NPPC for lobbying on behalf of the NPB, which is prohibited from using money for these purposes. The “other white meat” slogan was retired in 2011 but the NPPC continues to receive $3 million annually.42Danny Vinik, “A million pork kickback?,” Politico, August 30, 2015. Archived July 23, 2020.

NPPC Political Action Committee (PAC)

The NPPC also receives donations through its political action committee, PorkPAC, which raised $537,011 in 2019-2020.

Dr Howard Hill, a former Veterinarian and Board Member of the NPPC, was a member of Donald Trump’s leadership council during the Presidential Election in 2016. The council consisted of industry representatives who advised the presidential candidate on issues including agriculture and energy. 75Andy Kroll. “The Shadow Cabinet: How a Group of Powerful Business Leaders Drove Trump’s Agenda,” Rolling Stone, June 19, 2019.

Responding to a video campaign launched by the RSPCA which aimed to highlight the difference in animal welfare and health and safety standards in the UK and US, and criticised the use of cramped conditions for US pigs raised in “sow stalls,” Jim Monroe, Assistant Vice-President at the National Pork Producers Council said:

“Over the last 10 years, the United States, on average, has been the top exporter of pork in the world. In any given year, the US pork industry ships products to more than 100 countries.

That’s because we produce the safest, most nutritious and most affordable pork in the world. We do so while maintaining the highest standards of animal welfare. Any characterization to the contrary is preposterous.

“NPPC supports a stronger trade relationship with the United Kingdom, but will only support a US-UK free trade agreement if the UK is willing to eliminate all tariff and non-tariff barriers and embrace Codex and other international production standards.”76Sophie Kevany, “US chickens ‘literally sitting in each other’s waste’ says RSPCA,” The Guardian, August 17, 2020.

The NPPC gave evidence at the US Trade Representative’s public hearing on “negotiating objectives for a US-UK Agreement”, at which representatives from US industries and related bodies outlined their demands for the trade talks between the two countries.77“Transcript – Public Hearing on Negotiating Objectives for a US-UK Trade Agreement (PDF),” Trade Policy Staff Committee, Office of the United States Trade Representative.

The NPPC was represented at the hearing by lobbyist Craig Thorn, who told trade officials that Brexit offered a “historic opportunity” for the US pork industry and called on the US government to negotiate a deal that eliminated what it called “high tariffs” and “sanitary and phytosanitary” regulations, including a ban on the food additive ractopamine and mandatory testing for the parasite trichinae.78“Transcript – Public Hearing on Negotiating Objectives for a US-UK Trade Agreement (PDF),” Trade Policy Staff Committee, Office of the United States Trade Representative.

Thorn is a Partner at consultancy DTB Associates and has represented DTB clients including MSD Animal Health, Bayer CropScience and Fonterra Cooperative Group, according to the EU Transparency Register. Thorn also worked for the US Department of Agriculture’s Foreign Agriculture Service.79“Craig A. Thorn, Partner,” DTB Associates LLP. Archived August 14, 2020.

The NPPC lobbied against the “Waxman-Markey Bill”, legislation that proposed to reduce US emissions by 80 percent by 2050 by introducing a cap and trade system. In a letter to House Agriculture Chairman, Collin Peterson, and Congressman, Frank Lucas, the NPPC argued that the Bill would unfairly “raise the cost of production” and drive producers into “financial despair”.81“Waxman-Markey Bill,” BusinessGreen, April 1, 2010.

After being approved in the House of Representatives on June 26 2009, the Bill represented the “first time either house of Congress had approved a bill meant to curb the heat-trapping gases scientists have linked to climate change”. However, the Bill failed to progress to the senate, hampered by numerous factors including the number of concessions made to industry, an unfavourable economic climate and Republican opposition.83John M Broder. “’Cap and Trade’ loses its standing as energy policy of choice,” New York Times, March 25, 2010.
