Agri Stats' US motion says there's no evidence its reports facilitated conspiracy to fix pork prices, output

( June 7, 2024, 22:46 GMT | Official Statement) -- MLex Summary: Defendant Agri Stats filed a motion for summary judgment in a proposed class action complaint filed against a group of pork suppliers accusing them of conspiring to fix prices.
