PUTRAJAYA, Aug 28 — The supply of chicken eggs in the market is sufficient and stable, with local production now exceeding domestic demand, said the Agriculture and Food Security Ministry (MAFS).
Following the restructuring of egg subsidies effective August 1, the industry will regularly review and adjust retail prices in the open market based on current production data.
“This price adjustment process is part of the open market mechanism, but it does not affect the assurance of egg supply for consumers,” it said in a statement today.
Surveys have revealed that the supply of Grade A, Grade B, and Grade C eggs remains stable and available in supermarkets, while affordable Special Grade eggs are also being supplied in reasonable quantities.
“MAFS will also continue monitoring egg production data and maintaining the Agro Madani Sales initiative to help ease the people’s cost of living,” the ministry said.
MAFS noted that the Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry (KPDN) is continuously monitoring prices, and stern action will be taken under existing laws in cases of profiteering, manipulation, or unreasonable price hikes.
