Meat Supply Crisis Likely to Deepen in City Markets
Wholesale meat and dairy distributors warn that the next two weeks will drive the city market to a rock bottom shortage with little or no supply for retailers. They tie the crisis to the potential end of OPA price controls on June 30 and expect prices to rise until supply meets demand. Black market bidding and tight regulation hinder packers from bidding above base prices, worsening the shortage and slow processing to retailers.
