Meat supply in the USA is falling because slaughterhouses are closing down

The US food company Tyson Foods Inc. has already had to close two of its largest slaughterhouses in the United States to prevent the spread of the corona virus. Meanwhile, the meat supply overseas is declining because even meat processors are closing in rows.
While people are concerned about supplying the population with meat, the supply of pigs ready for slaughter piles up on the farms. The corona virus also prevents the outflow of agricultural products from farms worldwide. Millions of harvest workers and transport capacities are lacking everywhere.
Tyson Foods is the largest meat company in the United States and has now had to close its slaughterhouse in Waterloo, Iowa, after even the emergency operation stopped working. Many employees tested positive for the corona virus and others stayed away from work for fear of getting infected. This slaughterhouse has a capacity of 19,500 slaughterings per day, which is 5% of total US production.
Now the plant in Logansport, Indiana is also to be closed, where 2,200 workers will have to undergo a test.When log transport is tight, US slaughterhouses will provide 19% less pork, as other food companies face similar problems.
For example, JSB, which is in Brazilian hands, or WH, which belongs to the Smithfield group. They own plants in Minnesota and South Dakota. Meat supply is becoming narrow in US grocery stores, partly because household demand is different than that of closed restaurants and takeaways.
