The American meatpacking industry faces stricter oversight in Washington, as lawmakers and regulators push an overhaul of the $213 billion sector following complaints about meat companies’ alleged influence over markets and farmers

Andy Green, the USDA’s senior adviser for fair and competitive markets, said some of farmers’ troubles stem from a handful of companies controlling the bulk of U.S. meat processing.

The North American Meat Institute, which represents meat companies, is pushing back against tighter regulations for the industry. Mark Dopp, the group’s head of regulatory affairs, said the USDA’s planned rules would narrow farmers’ options to sell livestock, enable frivolous lawsuits and potentially boost supermarket prices for burgers and chicken breasts.

Mr. Green of the USDA said those episodes showed the vulnerabilities of concentration, and the need to reduce farmers’ and consumers’ reliance on a small number of major companies. The USDA this month said it would provide grants and loans to support new and smaller meat-processing plants as part of a $4 billion program to strengthen the U.S. food system.
