The company reported third-quarter net profit of 1.5bn baht (US$37.6m), compared to 680m baht a year-earlier. Analysts had forecast net profit of 1.3-1.4bn baht.
CP Foods said sales increased 20%, mainly due to stronger exports, and that average meat prices were higher than in the year-ago period.
One analyst said CP Foods had benefited from a 24% rise in the third-quarter export price of frozen chicken, driven by increased demand abroad, particularly in Europe where an estimated one million chickens died in a summer heat wave, reported Reuters.
