Smithfield Foods manufactures and markets packaged meats and fresh pork, processing fresh meat into packaged meats products (bacon, sausage, deli, ready-to-eat items) and selling them to retail and foodservice customers, with revenue generated across packaged meats and hog production.
Smithfield's results hinge on converting hog production into processed, branded packaged meats, where branded distribution and on-shelf availability support demand while hog throughput (produced and marketed) drives the underlying supply base.
