Livestock supply in Malaysia still stable, minister says

Crop and livestock supplies in Malaysia remain stable despite the ongoing hot and dry weather caused by the Southwest Monsoon, said the Agriculture and Food Security Ministry (KPKM).

KPKM's minister, Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu, said the ministry has not received any major complaints or reports of serious supply disruptions.

There have been some complaints, but they are isolated and weather-related, whether due to floods or drought, he added.

"Overall, disruptions are minimal and the situation remains under control," he told reporters after officiating the Agriculture Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) @KPKM carnival on June 28.

The Malaysian Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia) earlier reported that the Southwest Monsoon, which began on May 10, is expected to last until September.
