Growing Pork Demand at Home

Pork needs to earn a place in more everyday meals, especially among younger consumers. Your Checkoff focuses on giving people more reasons to choose pork, making it easier to find and buy, and understanding what drives their choices. 

From Consumer Insight to More Meals

Consumer insights guide your Checkoff’s campaigns, new product ideas and partnerships across the supply chain. We work with packers, processors, stores and restaurants to help pork earn a place in more everyday meals.

Give People More Reasons to Choose Pork

Your Checkoff uses consumer campaigns, promotions and market research to identify what people want from food, meat and pork, and then give them more reasons to think about and choose pork products that fit their lives and needs:

  • The Taste What Pork Can Do® campaign shows younger consumers how pork fits into everyday meals.
  • The Explora Todo El Gusto Del Pork™ campaign reaches Hispanic consumers.
  • Research helps develop new pork products and ways to prepare them.
