KUALA LUMPUR (THE STAR/ASIA NEWS NETWORK) - The cheapest source of protein may cost more as a shortage is looming after poultry farms in Malaysia slash production due to increasing costs, limited subsidies and a ceiling price to adhere to.

The closure of about 40 per cent of poultry farms - which have fallen from more than 300 to just 170 - is not helping.

Those still operating say they need better subsidies to keep prices low, especially with the doubling of chicken feed prices. Many of them say they are also on the brink of folding.

The farmers say they lose five sen per egg despite the government subsidy of five sen each.

As usual,path of failure is laid with good intentions.

The Malaysian thought they can prevent inflation by imposing price caps and limiting exports. The farmers cannot make money so thy close cutting supply making situation worse.

That is the stupidity of trying to control price.
instead of letting market forces set prices.
