Tyson Foods beefs up poultry plant

Tyson Foods has announced the investment of US$13 million in its Hope processing plant.

Additionally, Tyson Foods will also provide 250 new production jobs in the processing plant. The company has foreseen that the additional jobs and poultry house operations will cause local yearly payrolls for Tyson Foods's Hope complex to rise to US$27 million and put total grower payouts at US$21 million yearly.

Randy King, the complex manager of Tyson Foods' Hope poultry said, "This initiative reflects our determination to make sure our complex continues to raise and process the highest quality chicken in the most efficient way possible. We are also pleased our reinvestment will bring new equipment, an increased payroll and additional grower opportunities to the community."
