President Biden plans to release his action plan Monday for more meat and poultry market competition.
The White House says Biden, Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack, and Attorney General Merrick Garland will share details of their Meat and Poultry Action Plan and meet virtually with family and independent farmers and ranchers. Biden says corporate consolidation has led to rising consumer prices and lower earnings for farmers and ranchers. He says meat producers will participate in the announcement to discuss challenges they have faced as large conglomerates absorb smaller meat processors.
