Smithfield Foods, America’s largest pork producer + owner of roughly 150,000 acres of US land + operator of dozens of feed mills and production plants, has shipped hundreds of thousands of tons of pork to its parent company WH Group and sister company Shuanghui Investment and Development Co (双汇发展) since being acquired in 2013.
Shuanghui has extensive ties to the PLA, which it touts on its website, and is responsible for developing food for military to use on the battlefield, according to the PLA-sponsored China Military News.
Shuanghui also operates a food “mobilization center” for the PLA in Henan province, and has done so since 2009. Shuanghui’s mobilization center stockpiles food, including pork, to meet the PLA’s emergency response needs, and state-run reports indicate that Shuanghui has distributed food from this stockpile to soldiers on several occasions in recent years.
