North American Pork Leaders Reaffirm Commitment to Food Security and Animal Health

At a recent trilateral meeting in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, pork producer leaders from Canada, the U.S., and Mexico came together to reinforce their shared commitment to producing nutritious, sustainable, and affordable pork.

Hosted by the Canadian Pork Council (CPC), with participation from the National Pork Producers Council (NPPC) and Mexico’s OPORMEX, the meeting focused on critical industry issues, including animal care, health, and strategies to reduce the risk of diseases like African swine fever.

“This was an opportunity for pork industry representatives to exchange ideas, discuss mutual challenges, and explore solutions,” said CPC Chair René Roy. “We’re committed to providing the best possible care for our pigs, using science-based approaches to deliver safe and sustainable pork.”

NPPC President Duane Stateler emphasized the value of regional collaboration: “The North American pork industries are strongest when we work together, share challenges and solutions, and learn from one another.”
