MALAYSIA HALTING CHICKEN EXPORTS: SFA URGES CONSUMERS TO BUY WHAT THEY NEED,
CONSIDER SWITCHING TO OTHER MEATS

SINGAPORE — Following Malaysia's announcement on Monday (May 23) that it will be
halting chicken exports starting June, the Singapore Food Agency (SFA) has
encouraged consumers to consider switching to other meat products and buying
only what they need.

chicken, frozen chicken options remain available to mitigate this shortfall, the
Singapore Food Agency said.

SINGAPORE — Following Malaysia's announcement on Monday (May 23) that it will be
halting chicken exports starting June, the Singapore Food Agency (SFA) has
encouraged consumers to consider switching to other meat products and buying
only what they need. 

Malaysia's Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaacob said in a Facebook post on Monday
evening that the Malaysian government will be halting the export of 3.6 million
chickens a month starting June 1, until the price and production of chicken
stabilises again.

"The government is upset and disappointed with the actions of some companies
that stopped the supply of chicken, causing an increase in prices and shortage
of supply in the market," he wrote in Malay. 

In response, SFA said in a post on Facebook on Monday night that it is "closely
monitoring the situation" on imports from Malaysia and working with
stakeholders, such as importers, to minimise the impact on Singapore's chicken
supply.

"For example, they will activate their supply chains to increase imports of
chilled chicken from alternative sources, increase import of frozen chicken from
existing non-Malaysia suppliers, or draw from their stocks of poultry," the
agency said.

DOMESTIC SHORTAGE, RISING PRICES



It added that while there may be a disruption to the supply of chilled chicken,
frozen chicken options remain available to mitigate this shortfall. 

"We strongly encourage consumers to play their part by being open to switching
choices within and across food groups such — as consuming frozen chicken instead
of chilled — as well as other sources of meat products," said SFA.

"We also advise consumers to buy only what they need." 

The agency said that approximately 34 per cent of Singapore's chicken imports in
2021 were from Malaysia, and that almost all are imported as live chickens,
which are then slaughtered and chilled in Singapore.
