KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 4 — Johor poultry farmers have reportedly urged the federal government to lift the chicken export ban to Singapore, citing concerns that the country would lose out to competitors such as Indonesia.quoted the breeders as saying that Singapore had imported 34 per cent of chicken or 3.6 million birds from Malaysia worth RM84.
Lau also said Malaysia has another advantage in that chickens from Indonesia cost more due to shipping costs, adding the association has sent a request to the government to lift the export ban. "The ceiling price for chicken is RM9.40 per kg. When oversupply occurs, the price of chicken will go down, but at the same time, the cost of breeding chickens does not change.
"If the government is worried that the export might reduce our supply, then limit it. We could always start the export with 10 per cent or 30 per cent and gradually increase the figure when needed. The Beluran MP said that Malaysia’s move to abolish approved permits and allowing the import of chickens from other countries, as well as disallowing the export of chicken overseas have contributed to the recovery of the industry.
