Global Rendering Programs
The North American Renderers Association (NARA) has offices in Alexandria, Virginia; Mexico City, Mexico; and Hong Kong, PRC, as well as representatives in multiple countries and regions worldwide.
Global staff and representatives work at the direction of the NARA's International Market Development Committee (IMDC). Members of this committee represent NARA's members who trade rendered products globally.
NARA's global staff and representatives work to facilitate the free trade of rendered proteins and fats for its member companies. Our global, proactive development programs encompass market access and promotion. We believe that free, fair, and unfettered trade is essential for the development of food, feed, pet food, oleochemical, and renewable energy markets worldwide.
Market Development
Through its market development programs, NARA works in partnership with the United States Department of Agriculture, Foreign Agricultural Service (USDA/FAS) to help exporters develop and maintain global markets for rendered products.
International Trade Policy
Exports are extremely important for the rendering industry. Almost twenty percent of U.S. rendered production is sold overseas to top markets including Mexico, China, Indonesia, Chile, Singapore, the European Union, and Canada. These exports generate U.S. jobs and support domestic prices.
NARA encourages free and open trade between countries and works with the U.S. government and international trading partners to expand export opportunities for rendered products. Maintaining current markets is also a priority since loss of foreign access can occur, often quickly, due to an animal disease outbreak, political conflict, or other reason.
The rendering industry supports foreign trade agreements that promote increased market access by reducing or eliminating import duties, quotas, and non-tariff barriers. Strong science-based sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) requirements are also important in these agreements.
