CP Group's chicken facility processes 120 million chickens per year (today 200,000, pre-holiday periods up to 400,000) with over 2,000 employees working a single eight-hour shift. 90% of their chicken is for domestic consumption and 10% for other parts of Asia. All parts of the chickens are used, even the chicken fat is used in paint, and the feathers are processed into powder for animal food. The internal organs, feet, and heads are sold for human consumption. In 2013 there was a poultry health scare/scandal in China which depressed demand, but by 2015 chicken consumption had increased 20%.
This facility supplies most of the major fast-food brands in China, including McDonald's, KFC, Burger King, Pizza Hut, Papa Johns, Tyson, Walmart, Metro, Carrefour, etc.
