CORONAVIRUS | Although eggs are flying off the shelves, the chicken industry has taken a hit due to a drop in demand and the drop in the number of markets which are allowed to open during the movement control order (MCO) period.

According to former Federation of Livestock Farmers' Association of Malaysia (FLFAM) Chicken Unit director Yap Kim Hwah, Malaysia's 2,500 poultry farmers were caught off guard by the MCO.
