KUALA LUMPUR: \u00a0The technical committee to tackle food security issues that convened today has considered the proposal to set a new ceiling price for chicken as well as the subsidy rate for poultry farmers.
\nAgriculture and Food Industries\u00a0Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ronald Kiandee in a Facebook post said\u00a0that the proposal would be brought to the Cabinet Meeting on Wednesday (June 29) before being announced.
\n\u201cThe new price control takes into account the interests of breeders, wholesalers and retailers to ensure that the price set is reasonable for all parties.
\n“Additional cash assistance in the form of the \u2018Keluarga Malaysia\u2019 (Malaysian Family) Aid\u00a0(BKM) announced by the Prime Minister has also been taken into account,” he said.
\nAlso present at the meeting today were Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs\u00a0Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi and Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Mohd Zuki Ali.
\nRonald said the meeting also took note of country’s current food supply status and the price\u00a0of selected items as well as the implementation of interventions to strengthen the country’s food security.
\nHe said the supply of chicken was projected to remain stable and sufficient in the fourth week of June, while the supply of other commodities was also deemed to be sufficient to meet the current demand.
\nApart from that, he said the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs had informed\u00a0about the latest price of selected items\u00a0and the enforcement action taken against premises that were found not to comply with the maximum price\u00a0set for poultry and eggs.
\n\u201cCross-ministry collaboration will be continued to minimise the impact on the people\u2019s\u00a0cost of living.
\n“The government is committed to continuing efforts to ensure the continuity and accessibility of food supply in the market at affordable prices for the well-being of Malaysian families,” he said.
