Chicken farms in danger of closing due to price control extension, says group


PETALING JAYA: The broiler and layer farm industry has expressed disappointment over the extension of the Malaysian Family Price Control Scheme to Feb 4 beyond Dec 31 as originally planned.

The Federation of Livestock Farmers’ Associations of Malaysia said with the heavy pressure from ex-farm price controls on the broiler and egg industry, it was likely that some parts of it – especially small and medium farms which have suffered huge losses – would stop operating in the coming months.
