Brief Excerpt from Industry Overview Chapter:

Companies in this industry breed, hatch, and raise poultry for meat or egg production. Major companies include Foster Farms, Perdue Farms, and Tyson Foods (all based in the US) as well as Bachoco (Mexico).

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Demand is driven by food prices and consumption trends. The profitability of individual farms depends on efficient operations and anticipating market demand. Large companies have advantages in vertically integrated operations and economies of scale. Small operations can compete effectively by specializing in certain breeds, supplying local markets, or raising humanely treated or hormone-free animals. The US industry is concentrated: the top 14% of companies account for about 75% of revenue.

PRODUCTS, OPERATIONS & TECHNOLOGY

Revenue for the industry in the US comes primarily from broilers (about 80%), turkeys (about 20%), chickens, and eggs.
