Abill introduced in Congress would put a moratorium on large mergers in agribusiness and food processing and retailing. The Food and Agribusiness Merger Moratorium and Antitrust Review Act, introduced in the House by Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Wis.) and in the Senate by Cory Booker (D-N.J.) and Jon Tester (D-Mont.), would impose an indefinite moratorium on all mergers and acquisitions in "agriculture, food and beverage manufacturing, and grocery retail" where one party is worth $160 million or more and the other is worth at least $16 million.
