Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP)• TPP negotiations are drawing to a conclusion.
– NPPC has not endorsed agreement, waiting to see final package
• Biggest commercial opportunity ever for U.S. pork.• NPPC has led agriculture’s efforts on TPP.• NPPC wants all tariff, non-tariff barriers to trade in pork
eliminated in all TPP nations, including elimination of Gate Price on pork in Japan.
• If TPP is approved, U.S. pork exports will increase significantly with potential to create more than 10,000 export-related U.S. ag jobs.
![Page 19: Swine Education In-Service NPPC Update September 30, 2015](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081513/56649f3d5503460f94c5d215/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

• Many questions remain about agricultural products, as EU has not been willing to eliminate tariffs on beef, poultry or pork
• Slow progress and will require long-term patience.• Removal of tariff and non-tariff barriers would
significantly increase U.S. pork exports to the EU and potentially create more than 17,000 U.S. jobs (according to Iowa State University economist Dermot Hayes).
