PROFILE |
 |
At Gold Kist, the chickens don't even get to see the road, much less cross it. An agricultural cooperative of 25,000 farmers (mainly in the South), Gold Kist is the #3 US poultry processor (behind #2 Pilgrim's Pride), selling fresh and frozen whole chickens, parts, and processed chicken products (patties, nuggets) to the food service industry, school and military food programs, and grocery chains. It also processes pork and breeds catfish and is involved in metal fabrication as well as financing for farmers. Gold Kist produces nuts through its 25% stake in #1 US pecan processor Young Pecan Company and its 25% stake in Golden Peanut Company (a partnership with Archer Daniels Midland and Swiss-owned Alimenta Processing).
