Abstract

ABSTRACT The Biden Administration pursued a set of ambitious competition policy initiatives in agriculture and agribusiness, primarily aimed at livestock and poultry supply chains, farm inputs, and food retailing. The initiatives included expanded antitrust enforcement; new US Department of Agriculture (USDA) contract regulations requiring poultry processors to disclose more information to growers; and USDA financial support for expanded capacity in meat processing. I summarize the initiatives, evaluate what we know about their likely impacts, and discuss open research and policy issues.
