Malaysia's livestock breeders start preparation of beef supplies as Ramandan nears

Livestock breeders in Malaysia have begun preparing beef supplies in anticipation of Ramadan and Hari Raya Aidilfitri next year.

Agriculture and Food Security Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu said the country's beef supply has remained sufficient over the past three years to meet public needs. This includes during peak demand periods such as festive seasons like Aidilfitri and Aidiladha.

"Muslims are expected to observe Ramadan in February next year, with Aidilfitri falling at the end of March 2026," he said in a Facebook post. "Preparations for beef supply have already been initiated by local breeders."

He expressed confidence that meat supplies for the people next year will continue to be assured. This is due to early planning, cooperation from breeders and the right policy support.
