The move had a knock-on impact in Singapore with restaurants and street stalls hiking prices of its de-facto national dish, chicken rice. The Singapore Food Agency said in a statement it was "working closely" with Indonesian authorities over accreditation of the country as a potential source of chicken imports.

Indonesia produces 55 million to 60 million birds per week, with a surplus of around 15 per cent to 20 per cent after domestic consumption, Achmad Dawami, the chairman of the Indonesian Poultry Breeders' Association, told Reuters.
