PUTRAJAYA: The Federal Agricultural Marketing Authority (Fama) has been asked to solve the shortage of chicken supply in several places immediately to ensure that Hari Raya Aidilfitri preparations are not affected, says Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu.
Speaking to the media after the Agriculture and Food Security Ministry's Bubur Lambuk distribution programme here Wednesday , the Minister said Fama will find a way to address the shortage of supply.
"So far I have not received a report on how many places are experiencing shortage of chicken supply. Temporary shortages in some places before the festive season sometimes happens but the ministry guarantees that the food supply is sufficient, especially for the eight main commodities, namely egg, chicken, meat, fish, vegetables, fruit, rice and fresh milk," he said.
Earlier, the media reported that traders at Pasar Besar Klang feared insufficient chicken supply a week before Aidilfitri despite high demand from consumers.The media also reported that chicken supply problems are expected to hit the north of the country ahead of Syawal due to the shortage in the supply of chicken, especially in Kedah. - Bernama
