UPDATE ON USDA/DOJ AG INDUSTRY WORKSHOPS
Jun. 30, 2011
Agri-Pulse reports:
After more than two years, the Obama Administration has discovered that it's limited in its ability to reverse years of consolidation in the food industry and agriculture.
Last year's USDA-Department of Justice workshops on concentration in dairy, livestock, poultry and seed marketing so far has yielded little or no enforcement.
"Our work on agriculture issues continues, but as we learned through our workshops, many significant problems faced in this sector cannot be resolved through competition policy and antitrust enforcement," Christine A. Varney, assistant attorney general for DOJ's Antitrust Division, told the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Friday. "Nonetheless, we continue to look for solutions."
