Egg-cellent endeavours

In 2012, a report from the Federation of Livestock Farmers 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.
