Food Crisis in Malaysia after Ramadan

Latest: Several supermarkets in Malaysian did not receive their fresh-chicken supply this morning. Suppliers appear to be planning to channel all chicken-supply to Singapore in the next few days before the Jun-1 export ban kick-starts.

Chicken farmers in Johor who export to Singapore told CNA that the high cost of chicken feed has forced them to halt operations.

Mr S Caleb Rajah, who runs a farm in Kota Tinggi, said the increase in the price of chicken feed, from RM125 (S$39) for a 50kg bag to about RM150 due to inflation, means that he has been unable to make profits from his sales.

He sold about 3,000 chickens before Hari Raya and is now trying to find a way to grow chicken feed himself so that he can start rearing again.

“We can’t cover our costs, and we are losing our money. So I’ve stopped putting chickens on the farm for now,” said Mr Rajah.

Mr Joseph Siu, who operates a chicken farm near Batu Pahat and exports about 200 chickens a day to Singapore, told CNA that he is set to pause operations for now, especially with the announcement to ban exports from Jun 1.

PETALING JAYA: Insect meal, particularly those derived from black soldier fly (BSF) larvae, can be used as a supplement for chicken feed, says an adviser to a livestock association. https://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/c...n-give-chicken-extra-protein-says-trade-group

So the way i see it, once exports are prohibited, the farms will close.

'No choice': Some stallholders in Singapore say they may close temporarily following Malaysia's chicken export ban​

Jungle Chickens also roams freely in many parts of Singapore.
fresh chicken anyone?

Think I’m going hunting at Pasir Ris for those wild jungle fowl, if can catch those pigeons I would too. Time to practice my elastic, super rusty liao

 

[Hypocrite-The]

I think many poultry farms may shut. The gomen expect them to subsidise the entire malaysian population by imposing " price control".

Well said... instead of giving support to the industries to expand production they are doing the opposite

This is a good thing. There are too many obese mutts and minahs in muddland liao. The food shortage will force them to eat less and lose weight.

Malaysian hawkers also affected.
Immediate future - in the next few days, the chickens will be sent to Singapore before the ban starts on Jun 1.
Days ahead - Farmers unwilling to raise more chickens as selling price in Malaysia cannot cover their costs.

Good, then eat more vegetables. Stop all the unnecessary killings of animals. Best is to grow your own food.

So by banning exports some producers will stop production. Won't that make things worst?

Export market was the only solution for most breeders as they get market price for the chickens. They cannot sell in local market profitably,
