Beef giant JBS USA shutters two plants, cutting 2,000 jobs amid rising prices

JBS USA is closing its Philadelphia and Memphis beef plants, eliminating about 2,000 jobs and absorbing the facilities into other operations as part of a broader efficiency and modernization push. The move comes amid rising beef prices and a consolidation strategy, with JBS continuing to account for a large share of U.S. cattle slaughter. Pilgrim’s Pride is also shifting some chicken production to Ellijay, Georgia, investing $75 million and affecting 348 jobs. The closures’ impact on beef supply and pricing remains to be seen, as the company emphasizes long‑term growth and competitiveness in the U.S.

Colorado Beef Plant Readies Historic 3,800-Worker Strike

"NY Attorney General Takes Legal Action Against JBS Over Climate Claims"

New York Attorney General Letitia James is suing JBS USA, the world's largest beef producer, for allegedly misleading the public about its environmental impact and making "not feasible" net-zero pledges for 2030 and 2040, given the scale of its worldwide beef production operations. The lawsuit has been applauded by state Democrats and national climate advocacy organizations, while JBS USA has expressed disagreement with the action. This comes as environmental groups and lawmakers worldwide increasingly focus on the agriculture industry's impact on greenhouse gas emissions.
