Betagro Expands Chicken Production Capacity to Meet International Demand
Thai food company Betagro reported strong third-quarter growth and announced a 10% increase in cooked chicken production capacity to fulfill orders from the EU and Japan.
According to a report by Prachachat Business, Betagro has announced a 10% expansion in its cooked chicken production capacity. This strategic move is designed to accommodate a surge in export orders from the European Union and Japan, which are secured through the end of the year. The company's decision follows a robust financial performance in the third quarter of 2026, where it recorded a net profit of 1.3 billion baht, marking an 11.5% increase compared to the previous year. Total revenue for the period reached 33.06 billion baht, representing a 7.5% growth rate. Betagro attributes these positive results to a focus on high-value product portfolios, effective cost management, and a significant 25.5% growth in export volumes. For residents and visitors in Thailand, this expansion highlights the continued strength of the country's agricultural export sector, which remains a vital component of the national economy. While the company has confirmed its production targets and current order backlog, it remains to be seen how global market fluctuations might impact these export volumes in the long term. The company continues to monitor international demand to ensure its supply chain remains aligned with its growth objectives.
