Tyson chicken business outlook remains positive
Tyson Foods long-term outlook for the company's chicken business remains positive, according to officials.
Tyson's interim president and CEO Leland Tollett said the beef and pork segments are running efficiently and effectively, and generating strong returns.
Tyson's group vice president for Refrigerated & Deli Donnie King said outlook for chicken industry fundamentals is much improved over the past couple of years, although the economy has affected demand and altered consumer spending.
Commenting on Tyson's Prepared Foods segment, King said it is running the best it has since the company acquired it in 2001.
