Charoen Pokphand Foods Public Company Limited (CPF), a company of the Charoen Pokphand Group, is an agro-industrial and food conglomerate in Thailand. The greater part of the company's production base is in Thailand with some operations overseas.
The company's core businesses are livestock and aquaculture. Livestock operations include chicken broilers, chicken layers, ducks, and swine. In aquaculture, the two main marine animals are shrimp and fish.
The company employs 23,337 persons.
CPF's livestock business includes broilers, layers, swine, and ducks. Products can be divided into three main categories, animal feed, breeders, and meat and food products.
The company produces livestock feed in the forms of concentrate, powder and pellets for broilers, layers, swine, and ducks. The feed is distributed by more than 600 sales representatives throughout Thailand. A portion of the livestock feed is sold directly to large animal farms.
The company researches and develops natural animal breeds. The goal is to obtain quality breeds that are disease-free and suited to the breeding environment in Thailand. The company produces parent stock broiler chicks, parent stock layer chicks, parent stock swine, broiler chicks, layer chicks, layers, and piglets for distribution to animal farms and domestic sales representatives.
Grandparent stock used in livestock breeding is imported from abroad to breed parent stock which are then raised on the company's farms.
Products in this category can be further divided according to two types of production processes: animal farming for commercial purposes and processing and manufacture of cooked food products.
Products from animal farming for commercial purposes include live chickens, eggs, live ducks, and live swine which are distributed to sales representatives throughout the country. The products are also distributed in surrounding local areas, to wholesalers and retailers, or to the company's processing plants or other processing plants in Thailand.
The company has offices across the country, which act as centers for technical information to farmers on how to properly raise animals to obtain fast growth as well as assistance with marketing and distribution.
The company has a support program for the farming of swine and broilers. The company selects farmers who have their own farms and farming equipment. Selected farmers receive support in the areas of animal breeds, animal feed, medication, and farming knowledge from the company. The company then undertakes to purchase all yield which meets the CPF standards.
