PROFILE |
 |
James Perdue makes Big Bird nervous. His family's company is one of the largest in the US poultry market, selling 46 million pounds of distinctly yellow chicken products and nearly 4 million pounds of turkey products each week. Vertically integrated Perdue Farms hatches the eggs, grows the chickens, then slaughters, packs, and distributes the meat. Perdue is expanding its value-added chicken parts and food service products and has established a plant in China through a joint venture. It also processes grain and makes vegetable oils and pet food ingredients. Founded by Arthur Perdue (James' grandfather) in 1920, the company sells its products in the East, Midwest, and South, and it exports to more than 50 countries.
