Consumers are paying higher prices at the grocery for beef, pork and poultry, and the four largest meat packing companies are making record profits, yet the farmers in the middle are losing money.
In a report from the U.S Department of Agriculture, it is estimated that since December 2020, average grocery store prices for beef, pork and poultry have risen by 14%, 12.2%, and 6.6% respectively, while farmers are losing hundreds per head on livestock sold to a limited number of consolidated meat processors.
