KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 4 — Johor poultry farmers has reportedly urged the federal government to lift the chicken export ban to Singapore, citing their concerns that the country would lose its market to other competitors like Indonesia.
"We do not want the island republic’s consumers to be accustomed to the chicken supply from Indonesia, which is frozen, chilled and processed meat,” he was quoted as saying. Meanwhile, Johor Chicken Wholesaler Association president Mohd Azmi Abdullah said the poultry industry could suffer losses if there is a delay in lifting the export ban as the country has an oversupply of chicken at the moment.
Mohd Azmi suggested that the government should remove the ceiling price of chicken and only introduce it during festive seasons, adding such thing have been done before. On August 1, Agriculture and Food Industries Minister Datuk Seri Ronald Kiandee said that chicken industry has stabilised after facing shortage a few months back.
