Every two years, MEAT+POULTRY sponsors a US Processor Confidence Study. Designed to take the pulse of the industry, the study gathers data on company revenue and confidence, international sales, industry economic outlook, gross margins, operations and capital investing from thought leaders in the meat and poultry industry. Cypress Research, a Kansas City, Missouri-based firm, conducted this year's survey in May and June. The sampling of 9,265 meat and poultry executives from upper- and mid-level management job positions produced 252 completed online industry surveys. Companies were categorized based on gross annual sales for fiscal year 2017. Companies with less than $50 million in annual sales totaled 900; 33 companies reported annual sales of $50 million to $99 million; 55 companies reported annual sales of $100 million to $499 million; and 74 companies had annual sales of $500 million or more.
