Smithfield Foods Inc. Incorporated Research Report

Pork lovers overseas can breathe a sigh of relief as Smithfield is more than ready to meet the rising demand for ractopamine-free pork. This comes in the heels of China and Russia's announcement that they will require a third-party certification that pork exports are ractopamine-free. The company has been leveraging its integrated platform to supply ractopamine-free pork to export costumers for some time now. Smithfield's Clinton, North Carolina plant has been ractopamine-free since last year while the Tar Heel was fully converted last March 1^st. Combined, these two east coast plants will supply the market with more than 43,000 ractopamine-free hogs per day. Hogs will be sourced from company-owned farms, as well as contract producers, and will be fed from feed mills that are entirely ractopamine-free. Ractopamine is a safe and effective FDA-approved feed supplement used in the hog farming industry for many years to produce leaner pork. While Smithfield acknowledges that this supplement is widely used as part of a healthy, balanced diet for growing hogs, the company is leveraging its integrated platform to address the growing demand for ractopamine-free pork, primarily in export markets. Smithfield will continue to produce pork with and without this supplement according to customer specifications.
