JOHOR BAHRU: Poultry breeders in Malaysia are in the dark about whether the government would lift the chicken export ban in the short term, but they have welcomed remarks by the agriculture minister that the market situation has stabilised.
“These steps have resulted in an oversupply of chicken now, causing its price to drop below the ceiling price set by the government,” added the minister on Monday. “MAFI hasn’t told us anything on when and if exports will resume. I suspect the decision to lift the export ban completely has not been made, and will need to be approved by Cabinet first,” said Mr Lim.
"I suspect that MAFI will issue a written letter to breeders to inform us of plans to lift the export ban. We look forward to that," said Mr Ng.BREEDERS BUOYED BY MARKET RECOVERY"The comments he made in parliament are positive news. We hope it will lead to the resumption of normal business soon," added Mr Ng.He told CNA that many FLFAM members have ongoing contracts with Singapore customers, with whom they have cultivated a relationship over many years.
