Mission Statement

The Mid-States Meat Association (MSMA) is a member organization primarily representing the heart of America, but with a membership base that spans the country. Created in its current form through the merger of two associations (the Central States Meat Association and the Ohio Meat Industries Association), the MSMA is an organization founded to represent its members and the industry. In addition, it advocates common goals and interests, and supports and encourages operation and growth.

          The Mid-States Meat Association was established to:

• assist with the improvement of the businesses of its members;
• promote and expand the influence of the industry to which its members belong;
• encourage and foster high ethical standards of uniform good business practices in the meat industry;
• promote on broad and equitable lines the common interest of its members;
• foster and develop good will, fellowship and spirit of cooperation between its packers and associate members.
