KUALA LUMPUR: The Agriculture and Food Industry Ministry (MAFI) has clarified that the permission to import frozen chicken from Thailand and China is only a temporary measure.
Such imports will cease once supply from within the country is sufficient and its price stabilises said its minister, Datuk Seri Ronald Kiandee.
He said at present the import of chickens was being handled by several companies that were permitted to import 10,000 metric tonnes or 5.5 million chickens a month.
Kiandee said the permission was only given for three months from December 2021 to February 2022 with strict monitoring being put in place by MAFI.
