President Biden is to meet with farmers, ranchers and independent meat processors today to discuss the Biden-Harris Action Plan for a Fairer, More Competitive, and More Resilient Meat and Poultry Supply Chain. The Action Plan includes four core strategies for creating a more competitive, fair, resilient meat and poultry sector, with better earnings for producers and more choices and affordable prices for consumers.
The Biden Administration has been critical of the meat industry in the past. In a fact sheet released today, the White House said that a lack of competition hurts consumers, producers, and the economy.
