REUTERS/Arnd Wiegmann/File PhotoAug 7 (Reuters) - Tyson Foods (TSN.N) missed Wall Street expectations for third-quarter revenue and profit on Monday, hurt by falling chicken and pork prices as well as slowing demand for its beef products.
The company said it is closing four more U.S. chicken plants in a bid to reduce costs.
The company's average sales prices fell 16.4% for pork and 5.5% for chicken, while rising 5.2% for beef.
Tyson has eliminated U.S. jobs and already shut two chicken processing plants in a bid to reduce costs.
