Chicken And Egg Prices Will Rise Higher If No Govt Intervention Minister





The price of chicken and eggs will go up even higher if there is no government intervention, says Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Alexander Nanta Linggi.
Therefore, he said the government has and will continue to take proactive steps to balance the rise of chicken and egg prices in the market.
Among the steps already taken were extending the Malaysian family maximum price scheme until Feb 4, importation of frozen chicken and providing soft loans facility to chicken breeders to overcome the sudden rise in chicken prices in the market.
Alexander (above) said the implementation of the scheme which was scheduled to end on Dec 31, 2021, had been extended another 35 more days effective Jan 1 until Feb 4, 2022, while the ceiling price for chicken has been fixed at RM6.10 per kg ex-farm, RM7.80 per kg wholesale and RM9.10 per kg retail.Apart from that, the Agriculture and Food Industries Ministry also imports 10,000 metric tonne frozen round chicken or 5.5 million chickens a month.

"With the increase in supply in the market, the problem with a supply shortage of chicken is eliminated and at the same time create healthy competition which in turn will control and balance the price of chicken in the market," he said in his post on Facebook in Putrajaya today following his statement regarding the increase in chicken and egg prices in the market when the scheme ends on Feb 4.
He said the statement was not a fabrication but based on information received from the engagement session held on Jan 6 with the Agriculture and Food Industries Ministry, Veterinary Department, Finance Ministry, Agrobank representatives and the Federation of Livestock Farmers' Associations of Malaysia.
He said each party had presented the factors for the increase in the cost of poultry farming operations, including the increase in the cost of chicken feed at the global level and labour shortages due to restrictions on the entry of foreign workers for the sector.
Alexander said the government also provided soft loans to the country's poultry industry to overcome the surge in chicken prices in the market with an allocation of RM262 million to help farmers affected by rising fertiliser and pesticides prices.
"Of that amount, a total of RM200 million is provided as agro-food loans at zero interest rate with a six-month moratorium on repayment through Agrobank and the Tekun Niaga financing facility for the benefit of agro-food producers to address high production costs at the farm level. 

"With the provision of the soft loans, it can help farmers and breeders to absorb the high operating and production costs, thus control the increase in chicken prices," he said.
Alexander explained that the issue of rising chicken prices which involved operating costs influenced by the world market was indeed very challenging and demanded the cooperation of the various ministries and agencies.
"Nevertheless, the Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry will continue to monitor the prices from time to time and we wish to assure that appropriate steps will be taken to safeguard the welfare of the consumers and traders,” he added.
