Tyson Foods Closes Four More Chicken Plants Amid Falling Demand and Rising Costs

  • Tyson Foods is closing four more chicken plants in Arkansas, Indiana and Missouri to cut costs, shifting production to other facilities.
  • The company previously closed two other chicken plants this year as profits declined due to falling chicken prices and slowing demand.
  • In Q3, Tyson reported a $417 million loss on revenue of $13.14 billion, which missed expectations due to lower chicken, pork and beef prices.
  • Tyson says the plant closures will help achieve its target of $1 billion in productivity savings by end of 2024.
  • Despite challenges, Tyson still forecasts full-year revenue of $53 billion to $54 billion.
