Import of frozen whole chicken will lower prices, says domestic trade ministry

ALOR GAJAH: The government’s move to allow the import of frozen whole chicken is expected to help reduce prices in the market, says Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry secretary-general Datuk Seri Hasnol Zam Zam Ahmad.

He said the move was expected to result in excess supply in the local market, but at the same time other factors were involved including the prices of frozen chicken fixed by the producing countries.
