Issues and Challenges with the Beef Supply Chain

AAEA annual meeting track session

In the 2022 AAEA Annual Meeting session “Issues and Challenges with the Beef Supply Chain” authors discuss how the Agricultural & Food Policy Center (AFPC) at Texas A&M University recently released a book titled The U.S. Beef Supply Chain: Issues and Challenges. This book was the culmination of a study on cattle markets initiated at the request of the bi-partisan leadership of the House Agriculture Committee in the 116th Congress and the U.S. Department of Agriculture.  Since release of the book, the market has continued to evolve and additional policy proposals have been put on the table.  The purpose of this session is to provide an overview and update on many of the topics covered in the book.

Presentations in this session:

  • Update on Policy Issues Impacting Beef Markets
    Presented by: Bart L. Fischer
  • Overview of Cattle and Beef Prices During COVID-19 Recovery
    Presented by: David P. Anderson
  • Latest on Industry-Led Negotiated Cash Trade Targets
