The four largest beef processors control more than 85% of the U.S. processing market — half of which are Brazilian-owned — Trump administration officials noted at a Monday news conference, where acting Attorney General Todd Blanche urged whistleblowers to capitalize on turning in bad actors who are contributing to jacking up meat prices on Americans. "If the information you provide helps us secure a criminal penalty in excess of $1 million, you can be entitled to recover and receive 15-30% of the money that we recover," Blanche said, describing the DOJ fraud whistleblower rewards program. He urged ranchers, purchasers, processors and others to report possible price-fixing, bid-rigging, market allocation or procurement fraud. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins tied the probe to broader concerns about food security and shrinking domestic cattle supplies, saying the U.S. had about 86.2 million head of cattle and calves as of Jan. 1 — "the lowest since the 1950s." DOJ REPORTEDLY PURSUING CRIMINAL ANTITRUST PROBE OF MAJOR MEATPACKING COMPANIES DOJ reportedly pursuing criminal antitrust probe of major meatpacking companies Addressing the supply side of the economic issue, Rollins said the country has lost more than 17% of its cattle ranchers over the past decade, including more than 100,000 ranches, attributing the reduction to leftist anti-cattle, anti-meat activists' "alarmism to wage a war on cattle in America" and "the radical left's ongoing assault against ranching as a way of life." "Growing the herd size is an immediate problem in need of solutions, and we've already begun implementing across the government and into the states how we're going to solve for that," Rollins said. Rollins also singled out foreign ownership among major processors, saying two of the "big four" — JBS and National Beef — are Brazilian-owned or have significant Brazilian ownership. TRUMP ORDERS DOJ TO INVESTIGATE MEATPACKING COMPANIES FOR 'ILLICIT COLLUSION' AMID RISING BEEF PRICES "Half of these meatpacking giants, including the largest meat packer in the world, are either foreign-owned or have significant foreign ownership and control," she said, calling that a threat to U.S. producers and national security. White House senior trade adviser Peter Navarro said the combination of a historically small cattle herd, dominant processors, leftist lobbyists and Brazilian ownership have combined to fuel ongoing Biden-era beef inflation. "I hasten to add here that the Brazilians are far more of the problem, and it's complicated by the fact that the Brazilians, particularly JBS, hands out millions of dollars to our American political system like it's candy," Navarro said. "And the rate of return they get on that would make a Wall Street hedge fund blush, and we have got to put a stop to that. WHY CHEAPER BEEF PRICES ARE STILL A LONG WAY OFF close "You're going to hear from the ranchers at the front lines what they've suffered. "I can tell you that a small herd and a high concentration ratio \[is\] a recipe for exactly the kind of beef inflation we are getting." DOJ officials did not say when the investigation might result in charges or a lawsuit, but said civil and criminal antitrust inquiries can run in parallel, along with the help of whistleblowers feeding the investigators evidence.

"So, I welcome, my friends with the hats — I think that's a giveaway that they might be the ranchers in the room." ### 相關股票 - [JBSAY.US](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/JBSAY.US.md) - [MBRFY.US](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/MBRFY.US.md) - [JBS.US](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/JBS.US.md) ## 相關資訊與研究 - [路透：巴西和澳洲請求中國增加配額允更多牛肉輸入](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/news/287043260.md) - [川普擬降牛肉關税救通膨 遭共和黨人與牧場主砲轟後緊急喊卡](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/news/286047329.md) - [安謀（Arm）遭美國 FTC 反壟斷調查 跨足自研 AI 晶片引爆客户疑慮](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/news/286841799.md) - [鉅亨速報 - Factset 最新調查：Roivant Sciences LtdROIV-US 的目標價調升至 38 元，幅度約 8.57%](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/news/287126179.md) - [牛價飆漲 川普原擬「鬆綁牛肉進口配額」突喊卡](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/news/286043780.md)
