US Investigates Beef Industry Antitrust Violations

BCC News Taiwan Washington D.C. 15d8d Impact 5
The US government is expected to initiate investigations under Section 122 and Section 301 of the Trade Act. The investigation will specifically target issues of overcapacity and forced labor through public hearings on April 28 and May 5. The US Department of Justice is investigating potential antitrust violations within the cattle and beef markets. This follows a tasking by President Trump last November to investigate beef costs and prices. The investigation focuses on the industry's structure, where four major processors control over 85% of the beef processing market.
