According to Reuters, report, Cargill Inc. has disposed of its broiler production assets to private equity firm DCP. Established in 2011, the Cargill enterprise located in Zhuzhou in Anhui Province processed 1.3 million birds each week in a plant erected in 2019.

The white-feather broiler segment in China has recovered from COVID restrictions but is faced with high production costs and intense competition. It is apparent that Cargill has identified other markets with lower risk and higher return on investment than in China.
