National Pig Association

In 2007 the NPA calculated that British farmers lose £26 for every pig they produce, when there was a large increase in the cost of animal feed.

This led to the BPA contributing to a campaign song entitled Stand By Your Ham, a remake of the country music song Stand by Your Man, under the banner of Pigs are worth it.

This was at a time when there was estimated to be 1,500 pig farmers in the UK who received around £1.10 per kilogram of pork.

[citation needed] NPA is the representative trade association for the British pig industry.

It works closely with the industry's monthly trade journal Pig World
