ICE operations in ABD hit the meat sector.
In ABD, livestock facilities in Texas, Kansas and Oklahoma said that increased ICE activity has caused disruptions in labor and supply chains. According to the facilities, the shipment of thousands of cattle to slaughterhouses was delayed, resulting in losses of millions of dollars and additional costs.
The Texas Cattle Feeders Association, the Oklahoma Cattlemen’s Association, and the Kansas Livestock Association, in a joint statement issued on September 24, said that ICE activities were causing labor problems in the livestock and meat sector.
The organizations said that the absence of workers was causing disruptions at various points of the supply chain, including feedlots, dairy operations, meat processing plants, feed companies, and transportation hubs.
It was reported that some meat‑processing plants in Kansas had temporarily halted operations and that animals that could not be shipped were sent back to feedlots.
Industry groups said that the delay in shipping thousands of cattle was creating millions of dollars in lost revenue and additional costs.
New price‑increase warning for meat.
Sector representatives say that if labor and shipping problems persist, they could affect meat supply and be reflected in consumer prices.
In the U.S., beef prices are already at high levels, and the herd's contraction to the lowest level in the past 75 years is also adding pressure on prices.
On the other hand, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security said no ICE operations targeting workplaces were carried out in Kansas. The department said the activities targeted individuals suspected of wrongdoing and who had a definitive out-of-bounds order.
Livestock organizations, on the other hand, called for federal authorities to conduct the operations in a more coordinated and transparent manner.
