Meat, Poultry & Seafood Industry Brand Rankings

JBS S.A. is a Brazilian meat group founded in 1953 in Goiás and run from São Paulo, and it is the largest company on this page: US$86.2 billion of FY2025 revenue and US$2.02 billion of net income. Its 2025 Fortune Global 500 entry is 167th at US$77,182.6 million, filed under the Netherlands, because the listed parent is now JBS N.V., an Amsterdam-domiciled holding company, while the cattle, the plants and the 280,000 staff are Brazilian. The list admitted members at US$32.2 billion, so 92/100 marks a group reporting two and a half times the qualifying turnover on its own ac…

Tyson Foods appears twice in this round and leads one of the two tables, which is a different result from the one the register arithmetic produces elsewhere. It ranks second on the frozen brand index and first on the supply index with 92/100. The 2025 Fortune Global 500 places it 278th on revenue of US$53,309 million, well clear of the US$32.2 billion admission line, and its own accounts report US$54.44 billion for FY2025 with net income of US$474 million. Together with Nestlé it is one of only two companies on these tables that is both a register member and above that line.

The froze…

On the 2025 Fortune Global 500 register the name CARGILL appears zero times, and size is not the reason. Cargill's own revenue of US$164.0 billion in the year to May 2026 is more than five times the US$32.2 billion that admission required. That register is compiled from companies that report audited financial statements to a government agency; Cargill is the largest private company in the United States, does not file accounts of that kind with any agency, and therefore has no place on the register. Clearing the entry line and holding membership are two separate facts, and the 94 rests on th…

WH Group Limited holds two national meat businesses: Shuanghui in China and Smithfield in the United States. The group is listed in Hong Kong as 00288 and keeps its registered home in the Hong Kong SAR, while its two operating centres sit in Luohe, Henan and in Smithfield, Virginia. FY2025 revenue was US$28.03 billion with US$1.591 billion of net income, which leaves it roughly US$4 billion short of the US$32.2 billion entry line used by the 2025 Fortune Global 500, and no membership passes down from a parent or affiliate. That is why it scores 88/100: the top of the band t…

Marfrig Global Foods S.A. is a leading vertically integrated meat processing company headquartered in São Paulo, Brazil. With operations across 68 countries, it specializes in beef, pork, and meat products, maintaining a global production network of 32 slaughterhouses and 28 processing plants. Listed on the Brazilian Stock Exchange, Marfrig reported R$58.9 billion (approx. US$11.8B) revenue in 2024, sustaining its significant position in global meat processing through an integrated supply chain and sustainable practices.

Strengths: Marfrig's strengths are its global supply chain spann…

In April 2025 Charoen Pokphand Foods agreed to pay about US$1.1 billion for the 23.8 percent of C.P. Pokphand held by Itochu, and that transaction says more about the company than any tonnage figure. C.P. Pokphand was the vehicle carrying the group's Greater China and Vietnam farming and feed assets; buying out the Japanese trading house moved those assets to full ownership and removed the last outside shareholder from the structure. Feed is only part of what CPF does, roughly a quarter of revenue, but the deal was about control of the loop in which that feed is made and consumed.

The…

Every tonne of feed Wens Foodstuff Group mills is spoken for before it is made. The contract family farms that raise the group's broilers and pigs must feed the ration its own plants produce, and no feed bought outside may enter those sheds, so the mills have no customers in the ordinary sense and their output is internal infrastructure rather than a product with a price on it. That single structural fact explains tenth place on the Animal Feed Owned-Capacity Index and the 82 that comes with it. Revenue of RMB 103.862 billion, about US$14.6 billion for FY2025, sits below the US$32.2 billion…

BRF S.A. was assembled in 2009, when Sadia and Perdigão, two rival meat businesses from southern Brazil, were merged into a single processor; the Sadia name itself goes back to 1934. The company keeps its registered roots in Santa Catarina and its boardroom on Avenida das Nações Unidas in São Paulo, and trades on both sides of the Atlantic under NYSE: BRFS and B3: BRFS3. Marfrig, the Brazilian beef group, holds the controlling stake, a change that altered the operating culture more than the product range.

What rivals cannot easily copy here is the halal franchise. BRF…

The Fortune Global 500 name attached to this corporate family sits one level above the company scored here. New Hope Holding Group, the unlisted parent, placed 426th on the 2025 list on consolidated revenue above RMB 280 billion. Membership belongs to the entity that files those accounts and does not pass down: New Hope Liuhe Co., Ltd. is measured on its own RMB 106.856 billion for FY2025, about US$15.0 billion, less than half of the US$32.2 billion that admission required. No Fortune Global 500 place is claimed for the operating company, and the 85 it takes is the mark of a business making…
