The plan aims to address competition and fairness in the meat and poultry sector by dedicating $1 billion in <em>American Rescue Plan<\/em> funds to expand independent processing capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><em>\u201cThe National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition (NSAC) applauds the Administration\u2019s Action Plan. Now is the time for serious reform to restore fairness, transparency, and competition in agriculture and address concentration and consolidation, the structural root of many challenges that farmers, ranchers, and food processors face,\u201d <\/em>said <strong>Eric Deeble, NSAC Policy Director.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><p><em>\u201cThis plan is a very positive step to ensure farmers and ranchers receive fair prices and that the entire processing sector is more resilient, flexible, and fair to workers, too. Increasing independent processing options for farmers and ranchers also creates a more competitive market that benefits\u00a0consumers,\u201d <\/em><strong>Deeble <\/strong>added.\u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>While the ongoing pandemic did not create a vulnerable and unstable food system, it has certainly exposed long-existing problems with concentration that have been squeezing producers for years and have created barriers to entry for new producers.&nbsp; The &#8220;economies of scale&#8221; that have helped highly concentrated packers rake in record profits has cut the farmers share of the food dollar and helped to hollow out rural main street. The Administration\u2019s plan would help decrease consolidation, improve worker conditions, support more resilient local and regional markets, and ensure farmers and ranchers can earn a fair price.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><em>\u201cThe National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition (NSAC) looks forward to working with the hard-working team at USDA to ensure this support reaches small and very small federally inspected processors.
