JASIN: The Federal Agricultural Marketing Authority (Fama) has given the assurance that the egg supply nationwide is stable enough to meet consumers’ needs throughout Ramadan and during the Aidilfitri celebration.
Fama acting director-general Abdul Rashid Bahri said, however, the demand for grades AA, A and B eggs was increasing this fasting month as they are the main ingredients in making cakes, cookies and food for breaking fast.
“We were made to understand that suppliers are trying to meet consumers’ needs. But, the production of eggs for such grades also depends on the age of the chickens reared.
“Overall, we have many options, including omega eggs and kampung eggs in various sizes,” he told reporters when met at the Direct Sales From Farms (JTDL) Ramadan Madani @ Pasar Tani programme in Merlimau today.
