Charoen Pokphand Foods Public Company Limited, or CPF, reported net profit for the first six months of 2026 of 8.951 billion baht, down from the same period last year, with sales revenue of 283.883 billion baht, of which 66 percent came from overseas operations in 13 countries and 34 percent from Thailand. The board of directors approved an interim dividend of 0.45 baht per share, equivalent to 41 percent of net profit, with the record date for shareholders entitled to receive the dividend set for 1 September 2026 and payment on 11 September 2026. Mr Prasit Boondoungprasert, chief executive officer, said first-half performance was affected by pig prices below the level of the first half of last year, especially in China where meat prices were below production costs, as well as higher transport and raw material costs from Middle East conflicts that pushed up oil prices. However, the company expects the second-half trend to improve due to a rebalancing of meat volumes in several countries and supply chain management using artificial intelligence and smart farming technology.
