The price control scheme is implemented in 91 districts in Peninsular Malaysia, 27 districts in Sabah and one district in Labuan.

In the peninsula , the maximum retail price for standard chicken is RM9.50 per kg, while super chicken is at RM10.50 per kgThe pricing of goods in different states varies and are made according to the current market price as well as other factors such as currency exchange rate and increased utility costs for farmers.
