Goals / Objectives
A variety of changes have been observed in the U.S. aquaculture, meat, and poultry industries over the past two decades. Farms have become fewer in number, larger in size, more technically and scale efficient, and more technology-intensive. Markets have evolved to include products that may be marketed under various alternative labels such as organic, grass-fed, cage-free, and others. Aquaculture, meat, and poultry trade has increased with the U.S. importing and exporting more product throughout the world, with Canada and Mexico being the largest destinations of U.S. product, but others such as Asia also being particularly noteworthy in recent years. Vertical coordination is noted with each of the industries: production contracts in swine and poultry and various forms emerging in beef. Agricultural policies that include livestock insurance and disaster payments are of interest. The impacts of livestock and poultry diseases such as avian influenza and "mad cow" disease on agricultural enterprises and markets, as well as the economic impact of antibiotic use have been particularly noteworthy. Key areas of ERS research addressing aquaculture, meat, and poultry production and markets include: - Cow-calf and hog production enterprise cost and returns estimation using Agricultural Resource Management Survey data. - Aquaculture, meat, and poultry industry structure and productivity, including measures of farm size, diversification, production system, technology usage, efficiency, and vertical coordination. - Alternative markets for aquaculture, meat, and poultry products and their associated production systems, such as organic, grass-fed, and cage-free. - Impacts of various factors on aquaculture, meat, and poultry markets and trade. - The impact of agricultural policy on farm-level decision-making, as well as supply, demand, and trade for aquaculture, meat, and poultry products. - The impact of disease on livestock and poultry productivity and markets.
Project Methods
ERS has access to a wide array of data products that allow for a comprehensive analysis of aquaculture, meat, and poultry production and markets. Cow-calf and hog farms are targeted via the Agricultural Resource Management Survey on a rotational basis so that detailed costs and returns for cow-calf and hog enterprises, as well as data on production systems used on these farms can be collected. These data are then used to examine cow-calf and hog farm structure, marketing, productivity, and profitability under various production system scenarios. Data from various USDA agencies and other sources allow for further analysis of the impacts of specific policies and diseases on the aquaculture, meat, and poultry industries.

Outputs
This project anticipates trends and emerging issues by conducting high-quality, objective economic research as part of the USDA ERS mission to inform and enhance public and private decision making on economic and policy issues related to food, farming, natural resources and rural America. Findings and impacts are represented through a variety of outputs including reports, journal articles, briefings, and conference presentations. ERS shapes its research program and products to serve those who routinely make or influence public policy and program decisions. Key clientele include White House and USDA policy officials; the U.S. Congress; program administrators/managers; other Federal agencies; State and local government officials; and organizations, including farm and industry groups interested in public policy issues. Current listings of ERS published reports and data products, and journal articles by ERS researchers, can be found at www.ers.usda.gov
