Putting all their eggs in one basket makes sense for some

Tham of Blossom Century Egg processes an average of 300,000 chicken eggs a month with the help of his children, who are introducing new ideas to the product range.

In 2012, a report from the Federation of Livestock Farmer’s Association of Malaysia stated that 370 layer farms in the country produced 9,1 million eggs. Of this figure, about 1.5 million were exported to Singapore. In the same year, 48 million eggs were also exported to Hong Kong.

Tan Kow Choon, founder of Yong Suan Sdn Bhd, a wholesaler in Kajang who can sell up to 120,000 chicken eggs a day, can still remember the time when egg fever had yet to hit.
