PUTRAJAYA: The government will only import eggs from India until local supplies stabilise, says Agriculture and Food Security Minister Mohamad Sabu.
He said the measure was taken because local producers were unable to meet the demand which resulted in a shortage of eggs in the market.
"The problem now is that local farmers are not producing enough eggs,” he told reporters after delivering his New Year’s message to the ministry’s staff here. He was commenting on Ayer Hitam Member of Parliament Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong’s statement that the Agriculture and Food Security Ministry should prioritise local farmers instead of importing eggs from India to deal with the issue of chicken egg supply shortage.
