A top Malaysian government official, who declined to be named, confirmed with the Straits Times that the export ban has been partially lifted to allow exports of kampung and black chicken.

Malaysian authorities imposed a ban on chicken exports on June 1 amid a shortage of the product. Exports were halted so that prices and supply in the country could stabilise.

According to the Singapore Food Agency, 34 per cent of Singapore’s chicken supply comes from Malaysia, with most being imported live for slaughtering here.
