Overview

Mission

To enhance Utah pork producer opportunities by establishing the Utah pork industry as a consistent and responsible supplier of high quality pork. We do this through consumer promotion, research and education, and resource development.

What it reported doing in 2025

Consumer information & promotion: our organization has successfully created videos and classroom resources for educators. We have established recipes and cooking methods on our website. Additionally, we have created the youth pork institute which is a two day program that educates students actively involved in agriculture and pork production. Each of these things helps to establish a strong consumer base and awareness, which in turn drives demand for Utah pork.
