Every five years, the National Pork Board conducts an economic analysis of its performance to share results of the Checkoff’s efforts in research, pork promotion and producer and consumer education. According to the most recent study reviewing the program performance from 2011 to 2016, the producer return on investment was approximately 25 to 1. This is, for each USD invested by a pig farmer through the Pork Checkoff, a return of value of USD25.50 wss generated. In the previous analysis, in the 2006-2011 period, the return on investment was 17 to 1.
On the other hand, in 2017, the investments worth USD4.73 million made by the farmers were allocated to: pig health (32.6%), animal sciences (26%), public health (11.5%), nutrition (8.3%), welfare (7.8%), sustainability (7.4%), food safety (2.5%), meat quality (1.8%) and others.
