Resilience of Small Beef Packers and the USDA Meat Supply Chain Initiative
Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We focus on the plant‐size resilience relationship among small beef packers during COVID‐19. Defining resilience as the ability to maintain or increase slaughter and non‐resilience as otherwise, we use survey and secondary data to estimate a logit model where resilience is a function of a plant's capacity and age in addition to labor condition
