Tyson’s logistics expenses climbed about 30%, they said, while the company also has paid more for ingredients and packaging materials.<blockquote>这家总部位于阿肯色州的肉类巨头提高了其所有主要部门的价格，因为高管们表示，在截至 10 月 2 日的季度中，泰森的牛肉成本同比跃升了五分之一。他们说，泰森的物流费用攀升了约 30%，同时该公司还为配料和包装材料支付了更多费用。</blockquote> “I can’t think of a single thing that has either stayed the same or gone down,” said Donnie King, Tyson’s chief executive, on a Monday conference call with reporters.<blockquote>“泰森公司首席执行官唐尼-金（Donnie King）在周一与记者举行的电话会议上说：”我想不出有一件事要么保持不变，要么下降了。</blockquote> Tyson, which produces roughly 1 of every 5 pounds of chicken, beef and pork in the U.S., and other meatpackers have been struggling to keep up with demand from supermarkets and reopening restaurants. A nationwide labor shortage has left many processing plants understaffed, industry officials have said.<blockquote>泰森公司生产美国每 5 磅鸡肉、牛肉和猪肉中大约 1 磅，该公司和其他肉类加工商一直在努力满足超市和重新开业餐馆的需求。行业官员表示，全国范围内的劳动力短缺导致许多加工厂人手不足。</blockquote> Increasing wages andadding new benefits, like Tyson’s recent introduction of a sick leave policy for plant workers, have helped improve staffing, executives said. The efforts also are adding costs at the same time that poor weather has driven up the price of grain, typically the main expense in raising livestock and poultry.<blockquote>高管们说，提高工资和增加新的福利，比如泰森最近为工厂工人推出的病假政策，都有助于改善人员配备。这些努力也增加了成本，同时恶劣的天气推高了谷物的价格，谷物通常是饲养牲畜和家禽的主要开支。</blockquote> In response, Tyson executives said they are charging food-service and retail customers more for their meat and grocery products.<blockquote>对此，泰森高管表示，他们将对食品服务和零售客户的肉类和杂货产品收取更高的费用。</blockquote> Over the most recent quarter, Tyson said, the company’s average beef prices rose by nearly one-third compared with last year, while pork prices increased by 38% and chicken about 19%.<blockquote>泰森说，在最近一个季度里，公司的平均牛肉价格比去年上涨了近三分之一，猪肉价格上涨了 38%，鸡肉价格上涨了约 19%。</blockquote> “The inflation we incur needs to be passed on,” said Stewart Glendinning, Tyson’s chief financial officer. “Some of the inflation for us has been substantial.”<blockquote>“泰森公司首席财务官斯图尔特-格伦丁宁（Stewart Glendinning）说：”我们造成的通货膨胀需要传递下去。“对我们来说，一些通货膨胀已经很严重了”。</blockquote> Rising prices helped lift Tyson’s revenue by 12% to $12.8 billion in the company’s fiscal fourth quarter, while earnings increased to $1.36 billion, more than doubling from the same quarter last year. The results topped analysts’ expectations. Tyson shares increased 2.7% in midday trading Monday.<blockquote>价格上涨帮助泰森公司第四财季的收入增长了 12%，达到 128 亿美元，而盈利则增至 13.6 亿美元，比去年同期增长了一倍多。结果超出了分析师的预期。泰森股价周一午盘上涨2.7%。</blockquote> Tyson’s profit margins also improved, the company said. Operating margins in Tyson’s beef business jumped to 22.9% in the most recent quarter, compared with 9.7% in the same quarter in 2019. Its pork business improved over that period to 4.7% and its prepared-foods operating margins increased to 36.5%, from 4.8% in 2019. Margins in Tyson’s chicken business were negative in the most recent quarter, the company said, as it dealt with labor challenges and problems in its poultry-breeding operations.<blockquote>该公司表示，泰森的利润率也有所提高。最近一个季度，泰森牛肉业务的营业利润率跃升至 22.9%，而 2019 年同期为 9.7%。同期，其猪肉业务增至 4.7%，预制食品营业利润率从 2019 年的 4.8% 增至 36.5%。泰森公司表示，最近一个季度，由于该公司要应对劳动力挑战和家禽养殖业务中的问题，其鸡肉业务的利润率为负。</blockquote> Other companies, including consumer products makers and industrial manufacturers, also have reported improved profitability this year as theyraised prices in response to inflation. About two-thirds of the largest U.S. publicly traded companies have reported higher margins so far this year compared with the same period in 2019, before the Covid-19 pandemic, according to data from FactSet.<blockquote>包括消费品制造商和工业制造商在内的其他公司也报告称，由于为应对通货膨胀而提高价格，今年的盈利能力也有所提高。FactSet 的数据显示，今年迄今为止，约三分之二的美国最大上市公司报告的利润率高于 Covid-19 大流行之前的 2019 年同期。</blockquote> Mr. Glendinning said Tyson would monitor its own costs as it determines what prices to charge customers over the next year. Some of its expenses, such as the cost of ingredients and cattle, track commodity-market movements, while others, like wages, are more fixed, he said. Futures markets currently suggest that grain prices, which have climbed this year, are likely to stay at similar levels in 2022, he said.<blockquote>格伦丁宁表示，泰森将监控自己的成本，以确定明年向客户收取的价格。他说，它的一些费用，如原料和牲畜的成本，跟踪大宗商品市场的走势，而另一些费用，如工资，则更加固定。他说，期货市场目前表明，今年上涨的谷物价格可能会在 2022 年保持在类似水平。</blockquote> Tyson said that some meat production is likely to remain constrained next year, citing U.S. Department of Agriculture forecasts that domestic beef and pork production both are on track to decline by 2%, while chicken production is set to increase slightly.<blockquote>泰森援引美国的话说，明年一些肉类产量可能会继续受到限制。农业部预测，国内牛肉和猪肉产量将下降2%，而鸡肉产量将略有增加。</blockquote> Consumers are starting to respond to higher meat prices, according to grocery chain operators. Some shoppers are trading down from beef to less-expensive options like pork or chicken, and purchasing more store-brand meat products versus name-brand cuts that tend to cost more, supermarket officials said. Meat industry executives have saidprivate-label products have tended to be more availableas major brands struggle with supply chain and labor problems.<blockquote>据杂货连锁运营商称，消费者开始对肉价上涨做出反应。超市官员表示，一些购物者正在从牛肉转向猪肉或鸡肉等更便宜的选择，并购买更多的商店品牌肉类产品，而不是价格更高的名牌肉类产品。肉类行业高管表示，由于主要品牌在供应链和劳动力问题上苦苦挣扎，自有品牌产品往往更容易获得。</blockquote> Mr. King said Tyson’s staffing levels have improved. Its poultry plants are now fully staffed, the first time that has been the case for Tyson in two years, he said. Tyson in Augustannounced a Covid-19 vaccine mandatefor its approximately 120,000 U.S. workers, which he said led to about 96% of the company’s employees being vaccinated as of this month.<blockquote>金先生说，泰森的人员配备水平有所提高。他说，其家禽工厂现在人员配备齐全，这是泰森两年来第一次出现这种情况。泰森公司在 8 月份宣布为其约 12 万名美国员工接种 Covid-19 疫苗，他说，截至本月，该公司约有 96% 的员工接种了疫苗。</blockquote> Tyson is investing more inrobotic meat-processing systems, aiming to automate tasks such as deboning chickens and reduce worker turnover in plants, Mr. King said. Tyson is incorporating artificial intelligence to improve efficiency in its warehousing and transport operations, officials said.<blockquote>金说，泰森正在投资更多的机器人肉类加工系统，旨在实现鸡去骨等任务的自动化，并减少工厂的工人流动。官员们表示，泰森正在采用人工智能来提高其仓储和运输运营的效率。</blockquote>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Tyson Foods Raises Meat Prices as Costs Escalate<blockquote>随着成本上升，泰森食品提高肉类价格</blockquote></title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 12.5px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nTyson Foods Raises Meat Prices as Costs Escalate<blockquote>随着成本上升，泰森食品提高肉类价格</blockquote>\n</h2>\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\nThe Wall Street Journal2021-11-16 10:14\n\n</h4>\n</header>\n<article>\n<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TSN\">Tyson FoodsInc.</a>&nbsp;reported a jump in sales after sharply raising prices for its beef, chicken and pork, citing growing costs the company said were likely to persist.<blockquote><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TSN\">泰森食品公司。</a>该公司报告称，在大幅提高牛肉、鸡肉和猪肉价格后，销售额大幅增长，理由是成本上涨可能会持续下去。</blockquote> The Arkansas-based meat giant lifted prices across all of its major divisions as executives said Tyson’s cost of cattle jumped by one-fifth year over year in the quarter ended Oct. 2.
