CPF Wins Awards for Six Sustainable Food Innovations

CPF drives business through innovation, linking knowledge across the value chain guided by the CP Group's three benefits: to the nation, the people, and the organization. The company aims to deliver quality, safe food while increasing production efficiency, strengthening farmers and partners, using resources efficiently, and reducing environmental impact. Six innovations covering animal feed, livestock farming, and food businesses in Thailand and abroad received Chairman Awards at the CP Group's innovation stage, reflecting the application of knowledge and technology to real-world use.

How to ensure everyone has access to quality, safe, and sufficient food today and in the future, while reducing impact on climate and ecosystems, is a key challenge for Charoen Pokphand Foods Public Company Limited (CPF). The company believes innovation is the critical force to achieve this goal, and thus develops knowledge and technology across the value chain — from animal feed, livestock farming, and processing to food products — to increase production efficiency, use resources wisely, strengthen farmers and partners, build consumer confidence, and reduce environmental impact, together creating food security that cares for both people and the planet.

This philosophy leads to innovation developed from real problems and needs, including enhancing nutritional value, elevating food safety, and developing efficient production processes, with emphasis on practical application and scaling for stakeholder benefit. CPF's six award-winning innovations from domestic and international businesses, recognized with Chairman Awards at the CP Innovation Exposition 2026 (the 9th 'Blooming Lotus Innovation Festival'), the CP Group's innovation platform, reflect the translation of this concept into practice.

Starting with The Perfect Egg innovation — one egg that adds value for consumers and reduces impact on the planet. By developing layer hen feed with grains, flaxseed, and fish oil, they produced Benja eggs with five times more Omega-3 than regular eggs, alongside cage-free farming, renewable energy in production, and paper packaging, achieving Net Zero Product certification.

For the swine business, two innovations were developed. First, Eco-Smart Farming applies knowledge from CPF's model farms to help farmers overcome labor and resource constraints through IoT and AI systems that monitor rearing and detect anomalies, combined with biogas and solar energy to increase efficiency and protect the farm environment. This knowledge has expanded to five countries: China, Vietnam, the Philippines, Cambodia, and Laos, helping farmers access tools and knowledge for sustainable career development.

Another innovation, Improving Weaned Piglet Growth and Quality, overhauls nursery housing and care for all newborn piglets using data analytics technology, combined with management practices such as sex separation and size grouping from birth, and maintaining warm, dry rearing areas. This increased post-weaning piglet weight by 15.38%, reduced losses, and supported continuous healthy growth.

A further achievement is CP Space Chicken, which elevates chicken meat production to NASA safety standards and develops Thai basil chicken breast menus that passed all requirements and were consumed on the actual Axiom Mission 4 before the knowledge was...
