MPILP will expand access to financing for meat and poultry processing in the near term and will build financing capacity longer term as well as facilitate access to affordable capital to address the ongoing need for meat and poultry processing enterprises in America’s rural and urban communities. In addition, the Agency highlights the importance of strengthening resiliency of the meat and poultry processing sector and the broader food supply chain, including through addressing current supply chain related disruptions.
An emergency clearance approval for this information collection is formally requested due to the need to effectively implement the program as quickly as possible to begin to increase the funds available to lenders to increase capacity for meat and poultry processing. Increasing capacity will help create a more diverse and secure U.S. food supply chain. Concentration within the meat and poultry sector had a disastrous effect on worker safety, producers' livelihood, and product availability at the height of the pandemic in 2020. This concentration must be addressed in order to avoid future disruptions and further price increases. Furthermore, MPILP is a key plank of the Biden-⁠Harris Action Plan for a Fairer, More Competitive, and More Resilient Meat and Poultry Supply Chain . On January 3, 2022, President Biden and Secretary Vilsack appeared together to announce the Action Plan, which is an important priority for the Biden-Harris Administration. To meet pressing needs, USDA and the White House agreed to an ambitious timeline, which has been shared publicly, for launch of MPILP and related programs to increase the capacity of the meat and poultry processing sector. This cannot be achieved without emergency review and approval.
