Meat Thailand — a major shipper of chickens as well as sugar — may benefit after Malaysia said it will halt exports of 3.6 million chickens a month from June 1.
Charoen Pokphand Foods Pcl, a Thai meat producer owned by the billionaire Chearavanont family, will gain from the recovery in post-pandemic consumption, RHB Research Institute analysts including Soong Wei Siang wrote in a note. The company’s shares are up about 8% this month.
“The interesting question is what consumers will switch to if prices of chicken remain high,” said Joachim Klement, the head of strategy, accounting and sustainability at Liberum Capital.
WH Group, the world’s biggest pork company, may stand to win from potentially higher demand as China’s hog prices remain subdued.
