KUALA LUMPUR: The Agriculture and Food Security Ministry is leaning towards a targeted subsidy formula should the price of chicken rise sharply again after the end of subsidies and chicken price ceiling controls that come into effect on Nov 1.

Agriculture and Food Security Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu said that targeted subsidies were seen as more appropriate to ensure that only the needy and affected could enjoy the subsidy.
