REPORT OF THE

COMPTROLLER GENERAL

OF THE UNITED STATES


LM102427


Marketing Meat: Are

There Any Impediments

To Free Trade?


Department of Agriculture and
Other Federal Agencies


Union/management agreements in some cities,
mainly in the Midwest, restricted the form or
hours in which certain meats could be mar-
keted. The use of such restrictions appeared
to be declining and they were estimated to
affect less than 10 percent of the population.
More effective actions are needed in dealing
with commercial bribery in the meat industry
which, according to the Department of Agri-
culture, is widespread and limits competition.


Several pending court suits filed by cattle pro-
ducers allege manipulation and fixing of meat
prices by certain slaughterhouses, principal
national food chains, and a private meatprice
reporting service. The suits were still pending
as of April 1977.
