Ismail Sabri said GLCs, government agencies and organisations would be encouraged to be involved in livestock farming and that the government was studying ways to assist them. On the shortage of chicken feed, he said the Cabinet had received suggestions on corn farming and the use of palm kernel cake as an alternative feed. Ismail Sabri said the government was aware of claims that cartels were controlling the price and supply. He said the Attorney General had advised the Cabinet to use existing laws to take action against those who hide, hoard and sabotage chicken supply. He said that since Feb 5, the ceiling price of standard chicken had been fixed at RM8.90 per kilo and the government had allocated RM729.43mil in subsidy through the Malaysian Family price control scheme. Ismail Sabri said the government was disappointed with a move by certain chicken producers to stop supply, which had affected its price and supply.

Food protectionism spreads with Malaysia poultry export ban (The Edge Markets MY)

“We’re not looking at any other commodity for similar export restrictions for the time being.” Malaysia is the No. 2 producer of palm oil. Malaysia imports about 60% of its food needs, and has been impacted by higher import prices as well as a weakening ringgit. About 34% of Singapore’s chicken imports were from Malaysia last year, it said, with almost all imported as live chickens and slaughtered and chilled in the city state. Agriculture and Food Industry Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ronald Kiandee said the ban on chicken exports will be reviewed once supply and prices stabilise. Malaysia’s food inflation is set to continue in the coming months amid elevated global commodity prices, domestic supply chain disruptions and depreciation of the local currency, researchers at MIDF Amanah Investment Bank wrote in a note on Monday. The country is highly exposed to global shocks in the food supply chain given its status as a a net food importer, it said. The Singapore Food Agency said the restriction may result in temporary disruptions to the supply of chilled chicken in the city state, and urged consumers to be open to switching to frozen chicken or other meat products.
