Best not to put all eggs into one basket, say bird’s nest producers after export halt


PETALING JAYA: As Malaysia’s bird’s nest producers grapple with a temporary export halt to China since Dec 25 due to an outbreak of the Newcastle disease, industry leaders say it’s time to diversify the markets to reduce reliance on a single nation.

This comes as officials from Malaysia and China are scheduled to meet on Jan 8 to discuss the additional documentation required by the latter, as revealed to Malaysia’s bird’s nest exporters after a meeting with the Veterinary Services Department (DVS) yesterday.
