About Us

Based in Washington, DC, North American Meat Institute is the oldest and largest trade association representing U.S. packers and processors of beef, pork, lamb, veal and turkey. NAMI is proud that the U.S. meat and poultry industry offers the most abundant, most affordable meat and poultry products in the world. We believe that the free market has spurred cooperation, competition and innovation.
We oppose legislative efforts to limit or ban altogether marketing practices used widely in other industries. We believe that these measures will turn the clock back on progress and that bad news for livestock producers, packers and processors and consumers.
The U.S. produces safe, affordable, high quality meat and poultry products that are prized around the world for a very simple reason: the market works.
