National Beef Association

The National Beef Association or NBA is the main organisation in the UK that represents the UK beef cattle industry.

History

It was formed in the early 1990s. According to Kantar Worldpanel, the UK beef market was worth around £2.17bn. In the 1980s, according to The Caterer and Hotelkeeper, the most popular dinner menu in British restaurants was Prawn cocktail, steak and Black Forest gateau. The traditional Sunday roast nearly always consists of roast beef. Roast beef is a national dish of England.

The Scottish Beef Cattle Association (SBCA) merged with the NBA in Scotland in December 2012.
