Malaysia to ban the export of chickens from June 1

 Malaysia announced on May 23, 2022, that it will stop the export of chickens from June 1 to ensure there is sufficient supply in the domestic market. “The government’s priority is our own people,” Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob said in a statement. Malaysian customers have complained of rising chicken prices amid a supply shortage, with some retailers resorting to rationing their sales. Factors affecting supply include the rising costs of chicken production, disease and weather conditions.
