Tyson Foods, Inc. engages in the production, distribution, and marketing of chicken, beef, pork, prepared foods, and related allied products. The company operates in four segments: Chicken, Beef, Pork, and Prepared Foods. Already the largest chicken producer, Tyson’s purchase of beef and pork giant IBP Fresh Meats made it the largest meat processing company in the world, serving retail, wholesale, and food service customers in the US and more than 80 countries overseas. In addition to fresh meats, Tyson produces processed and pre-cooked meats, refrigerated and frozen prepared foods, and animal feeds. Its chicken operations are vertically integrated — the company hatches the eggs and then supplies contracted growers with chicks and feed.
