Durham Meat & Seafood operates a center-of-the-plate protein portfolio spanning meat, seafood, and specialty protein categories.
This portfolio is designed to balance diversification with depth—serving demanding foodservice, retail, distribution, and export programs through disciplined execution.
They are delivered through specialized operating companies, each aligned to a defined category, geography, or execution model—supported by shared standards, infrastructure, and governance.
Durham’s product portfolio reflects intentional category selection.
Each category plays a specific role in reducing risk, increasing relevance, and supporting long-term demand across protein markets.

Execution remains decentralized, while standards, procurement discipline, and compliance are managed at the platform level.
