Brazil poultry outbreak disrupts supply, Thailand's CP Foods sees rise in chicken orders

After an outbreak of avian disease in Brazil, the world's largest chicken exporter, disrupted supplies, demand for poultry products from Thailand's largest meat producer, Charoen Pokphand Foods, increased. Prasit Boondoungprasert, CEO of Charoen Pokphand Foods, told reporters on Thursday that some customers were unable to purchase chicken from Brazil, and the company consequently received additional orders.
