He said he would be making an announcement on the next step after the Cabinet decides on the policy in a meeting to be held on Friday .
According to Annuar, who is also the Minister of Communications and Multimedia, the government has set the ceiling price of chicken at RM9.40 per kg until Aug 31 and was providing poultry farmers a subsidy of RM1.20 for each kg of chicken produced. According to Annuar, the special team would also need to pay attention to the welfare of the poultry farming industry and strike a balance between a sustainable industry, that was, producers continuing to actively produce a certain number of chickens, and the current domestic needs of about 69 million chickens per month.
Annuar said the special team had also received views from industry players on the need to allow exports to resume.
