KLANG, July 20 — The supply of eggs and chicken has recovered after safely going above the critical supply level, said Agriculture and Food Security Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu.
He said the positive development is due to the efforts of his ministry in ensuring the supply of eggs and chicken is sufficient in the market, to accommodate the needs of consumers.
“It has been restored (issues of eggs and chicken supply). The determined efforts (of the ministry) including dialogue with the breeder association have produced results.
“We hope there are no new wars and so on, which could affect the import of corn and soya bean as we know the cultivation of corn has begun but the supply will recover,” Mohamad said.
He was speaking to reporters after opening the office building of the Klang Area Farmers’ Association, earlier today.
Commenting on the supply of rice in the market, Mohamad said the country’s rice supply is sufficient, even if the amount is slightly reduced.
“I would like to remind manufacturers not to keep supplies in their respective premises, the available stock must be released now so that it is available in the market,” he said.
