Frozen chicken imports a temporary measure to stabilise retail prices, says Consumer Affairs Minister

PUTRAJAYA: The government’s move to import frozen chicken is a temporary measure to stabilise prices at the retail level, says Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi.

"There is more demand than supply. That is why we bring in supply and hope that at the retail level, prices will decrease because there is more competition for supply of chicken," the Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister said after the Malaysia Excellence Business Award presentation here Thursday (Dec 9) night.
