The National Chicken Council and Tyson Foods Inc., the largest U.S. processor, said a rule issued today by the U.S. Department of Agriculture that regulates processors would boost costs for the industry.
The so-called GIPSA rule, issued after more than a year of debate, implements provisions from the 2008 farm bill intended to protect livestock producers and poultry growers, the USDA said. Among the changes, companies must provide “reasonable notice” to growers on any suspension of the deliveries.
