PUTRAJAYA, April 30 — The government has decided to fully discontinue the egg subsidy starting this August 1.
In a statement today, the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security (KPKM) announced that price controls on eggs will be lifted, and the subsidy will be reduced from RM0.10 to RM0.05 per egg effective tomorrow, before being fully withdrawn in August.
The decision was made after considering the industry’s commitment to ensuring sufficient and stable egg production, following stabilised production costs.
“This was evident during the recent Hari Raya Aidilfitri festive season, where supply remained sufficient and prices were competitive,” the statement added. — Bernama
