KUALA LUMPUR: The supply of eggs in supermarkets and retail stores in five states, namely Perak, Penang, Kelantan, Selangor and Melaka, is dwindling as many consumers and traders admit to difficulty in securing daily supplies.

In PERAK, a survey by Bernama at a fresh food supermarket in Bandar Meru Raya, Ipoh, found that there were no eggs on the shelves or in the storeroom, while some retail stores only offered limited quantities for purchase.
