Malaysian chicken export ban

The Malaysian chicken export ban was announced on 23 May 2022 by Malaysian prime minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob, restricting the export of 3.6 million chickens a month overseas until the domestic supply and price surge stabilises. Malaysia exported poultry meat worth US$18.9 million in 2020, making it the 49th largest exporter of the product in the world.^[1] The imposition of the ban comes amidst surging chicken prices due to a chicken shortage and rising prices for the domestic market.^[1]

The ban was partially lifted in June, allowing export of kampung and black chickens to Singapore. It was fully lifted on 11 October.
