Tyson Foods has focused on achieving consistent, profitable growth through strategies like growing their international and prepared foods businesses. They aim for 3-4% annual revenue growth and 10% EPS growth over time. Their presentation discusses trends in the global protein market like rising demand, flat US production, and increasing exports. Tyson believes their diversity of proteins, brands and products positions them well for growth opportunities both domestic and abroad.
In 2022, the plant-based meat and seafood retail industry generated $6.1 billion in global
sales, growing eight percent by dollars and five percent by weight. Combined plant-based milk,
cheese, and yogurt hit $21.6 billion on the global stage, up seven percent from 2021. Amid
challenging macroeconomic and market conditions, this rapidly evolving industry made major
strides across the areas of science, sustainability, and public and private sector support. As
consumer engagement with, and interest in, plant-based proteins increases around the world,
retailers and manufacturers are leaning in, introducing new products, developing strategic
partnerships, and building new production facilities. Public sector participation is also
increasing, with more governments around the world investing in plant-based proteins as a
research and commercialization priority.

Executive Summary
After careful review, it is recommended that our company, Perdue Farms, move forward with bidding on the purchase of Smithfield Foods. We have conducted immense research into the following aspects both organizations:
· Market Conditions
· Branding
· Financials
· Culture
· Supply Chain
· Government Regulations
· Risks
Our assessment indicates this to be a favorable acquisition for Perdue Farms. There is ample market opportunity, with increasing demand in the pork industry up to as much as 60% by 2050. We have compiled how this acquisition will be marketed to bring brand awareness to our organization. From a financial perspective, we are recommending debt financing as interest rates are still at historic lows. Our plans to maintain and improve culture within organizations will be executed through our employee engagement strategy. We will leverage both Perdue Farms and Smithfield Foods supply chains to create a best-practices efficient way to deliver products to our customers, as well as receiving products and services from our vendors. We expect there to be government regulations that our legal team will need to resolve. However, our overall risks remain low compared to the upside for our organization moving forward.
Smithfield Foods was one of America’s leading food companies derived from centuries of United States tradition. One of the most popular products Smithfield foods sold in the United States was their iconic holiday ham. The ham flavoring was derived from a curing process Native Americans taught settlers five centuries ago. In 2013, when a Chinese firm bought Smithfield Foods, it irritated many patriots and protectionists. Naturally, this reaction was to be expected; but behind the American pride was a different reality many people had not realized. At the request of the Chinese government, Chinese companies have been urged to launch a global buying spree. As part of a new phase in their unprecedented economic experiment, Chinese companies are targeting a resource that is widely forecasted to become dangerously scarce in the coming decades - food (Halverson, 2015).
Foods, such as soy, wheat, and corn, are dwindling as the world’s population continues to grow. Major concerns stem from the fact that most other food products, such as pasta, bread and livestock meat are derived from these foods that are dwindling. At the same time, according to a United Nations study, global warming is destroying up to 2 percent of the world’s crop production every decade. By 2050, with the global population is expected to reach 9.8 billion and food supplies will be under greater stress. Demand will be 60% higher than it is today, but climate change, urbanization, and soil degradation will have decreased the availability of arable land. The Chinese government is already is dealing with food shortages, as m ...

Godrej AgroveT Limited(GAVL) is an Indian animal feed and agribusiness company established in 1991. Godrej Agrovet is a highly diversified company backed by research and development. The company holds leading market position in animal feed, oil palm plantations and agri inputs.
The company belongs to one of the highly diversified Indian Conglomerate the Godrej Group.The Godrej group was founded by Ardeshir Godrej in 1897 with the manufacturing of locks
Its Animal Feed business is one of the largest organised players in the Compound Feed market in India, with annual sales of more than a million tonnes across cattle, poultry, aqua feed and specialty feed. All our feed offerings are formulated with a deep understanding of the nutritional requirements of different breeds.
Cattle Feed
India is the world’s largest producer and consumer of milk, with rapidly growing demand. Our Cattle Feed products are prepared with a deep understanding of Indian feeding practices and the breed and milk production levels of cows and buffaloes. These products contain proteins, energy, minerals and vitamins in adequate quantity and proportion to meet the nutritional requirements of dairy cattle. We offer a variety of Cattle Feed to enhance milk production, reproductive ability and the overall health of cattle. We also work closely with farmers and offer on-site assistance to help them achieve higher yields.
In the last few decades, the Indian poultry industry has evolved from a small-scale off-farm activity to commercial farming. Our Poultry Feed and concentrates are formulated by using superior quality grains, amino acids, vitamins and minerals to address the growing demand for poultry meat and eggs. The Broiler Feed helps in weight gain and faster growth, which in turns, improves the feed conversion ratio. Our Layer Feed helps in meeting the nutritional needs of birds at each life-stage and also, optimising the egg production of the flock.
Our range of Specialty Feed is formulated to meet the varied nutritional requirements of sheep and goats. They help increase wool production, weight gain and milk yield. We also have Feed products which are tailored to result in faster weight gain in ducks, quails, turkeys and pigs, reared for their meat.
The Indian animal feed market is driven by the rising dairy industry, backed by the White Revolution 2.0, which has resulted in the rapid growth of the cattle population. Currently, India has the largest cattle population in the world, thereby becoming a significant market for cattle feed. The demand for commercial cattle feed is projected to increase in India, as the dairy industry structure is becoming more organized. In addition to this, the government is also planning to launch schemes and policies under the 12th Five Year Plan, which are aimed at improving the overall status of the animal feed industry to provide for future demand.

• To feed the global demand for
protein, the U.S. is exporting more
of its protein production.
• U.S. protein production is flat to
declining; less protein available to
U.S. consumers resulting in higher
domestic pricing.
Global protein consumption is projected to grow more than 500% from 1960 to 2022.

42. NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS
Adjusted operating income and adjusted net income from continuing operations per share attributable to Tyson (adjusted EPS) are presented as
supplementary financial measurements in the evaluation of our business. We believe the presentations of adjusted operating income and
adjusted EPS help investors assess our financial performance from period to period and enhance understanding of our financial performance.
However, adjusted operating income and adjusted EPS may not be comparable to those of other companies in our industry, which limits the
usefulness as comparative measures. Adjusted operating income and adjusted EPS are not measures required by or calculated in accordance with
GAAP and should not be considered as substitutes for any measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP. Investors should
rely primarily on our GAAP results, and use non-GAAP financial measures only supplementally in making investment decisions.
