SPRINGDALE, ARK. — Tyson Foods, Inc. is closing a pork processing plant in Perry, Iowa. The closing is scheduled to happen on June 28, according to a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notice filed with the state of Iowa.

The company has closed several plants during the past year. In March 2023, Tyson announced it would close its Van Buren, Ark., and Glen Allen, Va., poultry processing facilities. Five months later, the company announced an additional four plant closings, those in North Little Rock, Ark.; Corydon, Ind.; Dexter, Mo.; and Noel, Mo.

In November 2023, the company closed value-added meat processing plants in Jacksonville, Fla., and Columbia, SC.

The closings are part of the company’s efforts to right-size its supply chain as its beef, chicken and pork businesses struggle to address supply/demand imbalances, input cost inflation and shifts in consumer demand.
