The company produces livestock feed in the forms of concentrate, powder and pellets for chickens, cows, swine, and ducks.

The company has offices across the country, which act as centers for technical information to farmers on how to properly raise animals to obtain fast growth as well as assistance with marketing and distribution.

[citation needed] Broilers, ducks, and swine from the company's farms are brought to processing plants to be butchered into meat products according to customer specifications.

Aquatic feed is produced in the forms of concentrate, powder, and pellets and distributed through sales representatives who are in shrimp farming areas throughout the country.

[citation needed] In June 2014, after a several-month-long investigation, the British newspaper The Guardian claimed that Charoen Pokphand Foods (CPF) purchases fishmeal, which it then feeds to its farmed prawns, from suppliers that own, operate, or buy from fishing boats manned with slaves.

[11] In July 2014, CP Foods hosted a three-day meeting to create a task force on the issue, with representatives from retailers, local government authorities, and non-governmental organisations such as Oxfam and the Environmental Justice Foundation.

"[14] The president and CEO of Charoen Pokphand subsequently posted a "Statement to Shareholders" vowing to purchase only from certified processing plants, only acquire product from certified Thai fisheries, and that supply chain "...fishing vessels, fishmeal processing plants...must be certified by Thailand's Labor Standard or have been audited...by an external agency (Third Party)...."[15] In Australia, Woolworths stocks only CPF-Vietnam products and Metcash, wholesale supplier to Independent Grocers of Australia (IGA), has eliminated CPF SKUs from their inventory.

[17][18][19] CPF's presence in Russia includes a representative office, feed mills, and livestock complexes, making it one of the top ten largest meat producers in the country.

In August 2021, the company invested heavily in Russia, acquiring two swine businesses for 22 billion rubles (approximately $300 million at the time).

[20] While many international companies have withdrawn from Russia in response to global sanctions and in protest of its military aggression, CPF has continued its operations, benefiting from food supply shortages exacerbated by the conflict.

In 2022, CPF reported record revenues of 513 billion baht, attributing part of its growth to disruptions caused by the war.

[21] This has drawn criticism for prioritizing profits over ethical considerations, as the company indirectly supports Russia’s economy amidst widespread condemnation of its actions in Ukraine.
