Tyson Foods is the leader in the red meat and chicken categories with 27 percent of the beef market,
23 percent of the chicken market and 19 percent of the pork market. That means Tyson Foods produces
one out of every four pounds of protein in the United States. Tyson’s leadership position gives it the
ability to serve large national customers in a consolidating marketplace while still serving smaller regional
and local customers. Consolidation has allowed national grocery chains and foodservice distributors to
be more demanding of their suppliers, and Tyson Foods is able to meet those challenges with national
distribution capabilities, new products and 67 years of experience serving these customers and markets.
With more than 28,000 products, no other producer has the ability to respond to customers’ needs as
Tyson Foods can.
