Tyson Foods Announces Closure of Multiple US Chicken Processing Plants in 2024
📅 2024-01-24 (month)
Summary
Tyson Foods announced the permanent closure of several chicken processing plants in the United States in early 2024, including facilities in Perry, Iowa; Corydon, Indiana; and Emporia, Kansas. The closures affected thousands of workers and were driven by cost rationalisation and a shift toward higher-value product lines.
Why it matters
Plant closures by the largest US chicken processor tighten domestic supply and affect spot prices for live broiler and processed chicken products. They also signal broader rationalisation pressure on US poultry processing margins following several years of elevated grain input costs.
