NCC has four categories of members:
Broiler Chicken Producers/Processors
To qualify as an NCC Broiler Producer/Processor Member, a firm must slaughter, eviscerate, and process young chicken (broilers) under U.S Department of Agriculture inspection. Most producer/processors are vertically integrated handling the chicken from hatchery through marketing and distribution.
Dues are based on a flat fee plus a charge based on production.
In addition to other membership benefits, Producer/Processor members are allowed appointments to NCC’s standing committees and their representatives are eligible for election to NCC’s Board of Directors.
Fowl Processor
To qualify as an NCC Fowl Processor, a firm must slaughter, eviscerate, and process spent chicken under U.S. Department of Agriculture inspection.
Dues are based on a flat fee plus a charge based on production.
In addition to other membership benefits, Fowl Processor members are allowed appointments to NCC’s standing committees and their representatives are eligible for election to NCC’s Board of Directors.
Allied Industry
To qualify as an allied industry member, a firm must supply broiler producer/processors with goods or professional or financial services. In addition, producer/processors of other poultry species, further processors of chicken products (i.e. those who do not slaughter), and foodservice firms may join as allied leaders or members.
Distributor Member
To qualify as a distributor member, a firm must be a distributor, broker, or exporter of chicken products and does not qualify in any of the other member categories.
In addition to other membership benefits, distributor members are allowed one appointment to a standing committee.
