Bachoco USA Feed Mill - Fort Smith is part of a long-established poultry and livestock feed enterprise rooted in the Arkansas-Oklahoma region since the 1930s. Feed manufacturing has been central to the business from its beginning, supporting broader poultry production and long-term infrastructure growth. Fort Smith has played an important role in that history, including the development of an early hatchery, a feed mill, and later a research and development center. Under Bachoco, the company continued expanding through additional facilities and acquisitions while emphasizing animal welfare, biosecurity, environmental sustainability, community involvement, food safety, and company culture alongside the production of chicken products for the U.S. market.
