Good News for Chicken Lovers: Malaysia’s “Redemption” From 10 % Off
Yo, chickens in Singapore alert!
From Oct 11 onward, the infamous live broiler ban will be lifted by Malaysia. The Singapore Food Agency (SFA) just got the green light from Malaysia’s Department of Veterinary Services.
What’s the Buzz?
- Malaysia had slapped a ban on exporting live chickens since June 1 after a local shortage hit the country.
- That ban blocked about a third of Singapore’s chicken supply—roughly 73,000 tons per year.
- Now, the ban’s being lifted, so you can expect fresh, live broilers to cross the Causeway again.
Despite the good news, the SFA is not taking this for granted. They’re saying: “Even with the ban lifted, we might still hit supply hiccups from time to time.” So, the agency is pushing for more sources. Think of it as “cook up a diversified menu.”
What Businesses Should Do
Review continuity plans. This isn’t just a one‑off fix. The industry must keep its chicken budget flexible and spread risk to avoid future food shenanigans.
And Yes, You Should Care
Consumers, don’t just sit back. “Flexibility is key!” the SFA says. Try switching up your pantry items or go for alternative protein sources when the market hiccups. It’s a team effort to keep our food supply tight.
