The Beef Industry Monopoly Explained | Why Farmers Get Paid So Little

Описание: Why are ranchers only getting 30% of the beef dollar while grocery prices keep rising?

In this episode of Coffee Time with Carlos, Carlos sits down with Matt Hamilton of Local Yocal to break down the real economics of the American beef industry. From the Big Four packers going from 38% to 85% market share and how agricultural marketing agreements (AMAs) impact reporting, to why grocery stores only operate on 1–2% net margins, this conversation dives into antitrust laws, the Packers and Stockyards Act, USDA reporting, and the hidden layers of distribution and transportation that most consumers never see.

If you’ve ever wondered why beef prices are high but ranchers are struggling — this is “the rest of the story.”
