Poultry giant Inghams will continue to be Woolworths' main chicken meat supplier after the pair extended their national agreement.
Inghams says the agreement has been extended to mid-2021, which will take the companies' supply partnership to more than 60 years.
Chief executive Mick McMahon said the extension was part of Ingham's ongoing strategy of formalising long-term supply relationships with major customers.
"Long-term supply agreements with major customers now account for over 65 per cent of Australian poultry volumes with average remaining tenure exceeding three years," he said in a statement.
Inghams, which listed on the ASX in November, made a pro-forma profit of $51.3 million in the first half of 2016/17, up 13.8 per cent.
It produced 248,000 tonnes of birds in the six months to December 31, up 13 per cent from a year ago due to strong demand from its supermarket and restaurant customers.
Its shares gained two cents to $3.35, up from its $3.15 listing price.
