Poultry imports to create stockpile for adequate supply

MELAKA: The government has given approval and incentives to the National Farmers Organisation (Nafas) to import chickens from abroad to create a stockpile to ensure consumer needs are always met.

Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Food Industries (Mafi) Datuk Seri Ahmad Hamzah said permission was also given to several cooperatives under the Farmers’ Organisations Authority (LPP) to import chicken from plants in countries that have been licensed and certified by the Malaysian government.
