Thailand ·
Charoen Pokphand Group, widely known as CP Group, is a Thai conglomerate based in Bangkok. It organises its activities into eight main business lines, and agro-industry and food sits alongside retail and distribution and media and telecommunication. The agrifood side brings together feed milling, livestock production, food processing and crop inputs. Charoen Pokphand Foods and Chia Tai belong to the same group, so they are covered here as part of CP Group rather than as separate companies.
For farmers, CP Group works at several points of the food chain at once. Its feed mills supply rations for livestock, its farming and processing businesses turn animals into meat and food products, and its crop businesses provide seeds, fertilisers and crop protection. Charoen Pokphand Produce, founded in 1967 as part of the group, is involved in corn seed production and sells rice under the Royal Umbrella brand. Contract farmers typically work with a specific group company, which sets the terms for inputs, feeding, collection and quality grading.
Size of the business
CP Group has eight main business lines, and agro-industry and food is one of them; the group's overall figures therefore cover far more than agriculture.
