Chicken supply shortage prompts traders in Perlis to ration sales


PADANG BESAR: Most chicken traders in Perlis have started rationing their sales following the producers' action to halt operations temporarily, said to be due to the weight of chickens produced by the farms not meeting the standard requirements to be marketed.

Perlis Department of Veterinary Services (DVS) director Dr Adam Abdullah Kwan said the move to ration the sale of chicken was implemented by the traders themselves, to enable more customers to have the opportunity to obtain chicken supplies.
