A great deal of research has been presented on the application of activity-based costing (ABC) in the manufacturing and service industries. In the field of agribusiness, which focuses uniquely on joint products, few studies exist that illustrate applications of ABC. This research has therefore applied ABC to a food company, concentrating on fresh and frozen chicken processing production. The basic process of ABC, based upon five steps, was applied and demonstrated the difficulties in applying cost data collection, identifying activity and cost drivers, as well as collecting driver data. The results also revealed significant differences in unit costs derived by ABC and the company’s existing cost system, particularly within frozen food products. This may suggest the possibility of distorted cost allocations within the company’s current costing system.
