Sen. Kevin Cramer, R- N.D., lays out his plan on how he'd combat rising prices in the meat-packing industry on 'Cavuto: Coast to Coast.'

There is, in my view, a concentration problem. When four [meat] packers have, what, 85% of the market and two of the four packers are foreign owned? Neil, that is at least worth looking into.

Sen. Kevin Cramer, R-N.D., discusses inflation hitting the meatpacking industry during an appearance on"Cavuto: Coast to Coast" on April 27, 2022. The way I prefer to tackle this problem is to knock down barriers to entry for other producers, for other packers, for smaller...more state or regional packers and provide an opportunity for more customized, you know, beef or other livestock that matter. So I prefer to tackle it that way, but I don't I don't completely let these big packers off the hook either because they're vertically integrated and they have an awful lot of market power.
