"The World Pork Expo is the world’s largest pork-specific trade show put on by the National Pork Producers Council. Each year, more than 10,000 producers and professionals attend this Iowa- based event that offers attendees education and networking opportunities," the AM 950 KOEL says.

"There are more than 60,000 pork producers that produce more than 115 million hogs across the United States annually. Of that 115 million hogs, 48 million are raised right here in Iowa.

"The pork industry provides around 550,000 jobs across the U.S. from local businesses to national and international brands."

"Since 1988, the National Pork Producers Council (NPPC) has presented World Pork Expo — just one of the many ways NPPC demonstrates unwavering commitment to the U.S. pork industry. On behalf of its members, NPPC works to develop and defend export markets, fight for reasonable legislation and regulation, and helps protect your livelihood," the official website says..

"Thousands of U.S. and global pork producers, industry professionals and industry experts attend each year. If you’re part of the pork industry, you should be part of World Pork Expo. There’s something for everyone — an expansive trade show, educational seminars, industry updates and networking. And, don’t forget the delicious pork served across the fairgrounds!

"The world’s largest pork industry-specific trade show brings together pork producers and industry professionals from around the world for three days of education, innovation and networking."

"The World Pork Expo venue gives attendees the opportunity to explore more than 360,000 square feet of exhibition space. In prior years, more than 700 vendor booths representing companies from North America and around the world have presented and displayed products in the trade show space. There will also be a number of companies with hospitality tents for networking and business opportunities," the National Hog Farmer says.

"In 2021, World Pork Expo returned after a two-year pause due to African swine fever concerns in 2019, and then the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Last year's event drew a crowd of more than 10,000 producers and pork industry professionals.

""We continue to be the world's largest pork-specific trade show," said Doug Fricke, Expo director of trade show marketing for NPPC. "If you're part of the pork industry, you're part of the World Pork Expo."

"The event has seen significant growth over the last three and a half decades to become the world’s largest pork-specific trade show. Last year, more than 10,000 pork producers and ag professionals representing over 400 companies worldwide participated. This year’s event is expected to draw even more industry insiders to the more than 300,000 square feet of exhibit space."
