SFA working to minimise impact on supply after Malaysia curbs export of chickens

SINGAPORE: The Singapore Food Agency said on Monday it was working to minimise impact on supply after Malaysia imposed curbs on the export of chickens.to address domestic supply shortage.In a Facebook post, SFA said that approximately 34 per cent of Singapore’s chicken imports in 2021 were from Malaysia. Almost all of these were imported as live chickens which were slaughtered and chilled in Singapore.

"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 also urged consumers to be open to switching choices, such as consuming frozen chicken instead of chilled.

"While there may be temporary disruptions to the supply of chilled chicken, frozen chicken options remain available to mitigate the shortfall," said SFA. "We strongly encourage consumers to play their part by being open to switching choices within and across food groups as well as other sources of meat products. We also advise consumers to buy only what they need."

Unlike the closure of fishery ports by the government for a short time during covid era, not even a minor MP came out to make a statement which seems to imply either they don't regard it as an issue or can do absolutely nothing at all.
