02Indonesia and Malaysia jointly protest against the EU's policy of restricting palm oil

Recently, Indonesian President Joko and Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar discussed consolidating bilateral relations and promoting regional stability and security. Malaysia and India also agreed to strengthen cooperation to address the EU's restrictions on palm oil.

Indonesia and Malaysia are the world's largest palm oil producers, accounting for over 80% of the world's palm oil production, with Indonesia accounting for over half of the world's annual production. The European Union is the world's third largest importer of palm oil, second only to China and India. The European Union approved a new law in May that prohibits companies from selling goods related to deforestation, including palm oil. The plan is to gradually phase out palm oil based biofuels from now to 2030. Both countries have protested against this new regulation.

Earlier this month, Malaysia's Minister of Planting and Original Industries, Fadira, and Indonesia's Minister of Economic Affairs Coordination, Erlanga, led a joint mission of the two countries to visit various European countries. Both sides stated that the premise for reconsidering the negotiation of a free trade agreement is for the EU to treat palm oil producing countries fairly.

01MalaysiaSubsidies for local broilers and eggs will cease at the end of June

Recently, the Minister of Agriculture and Food Security of Malaysia Mohammad Sabu said that the government would stop subsidizing local chickens and eggs at the end of June, and the prices of chickens and eggs would fluctuate freely. The Ministry of Domestic Trade and Living Expenses would resume assessing the prices of chickens and eggs, and decide whether to re implement the top price measures during the festival. Starting from July 1st, export restrictions on live chickens, clean chickens, and chicken nuggets will be fully lifted, except for chicks. He said that this is to allow Malaysian businesses to earn more income from the export market while introducing cash flow to Malaysia.

The Malaysian government has previously stated that global economic uncertainty, geopolitical crisis, and climate change have had an impact on people's lives and posed serious challenges. In order to reduce the burden on the people, the Malaysian government has implemented top price restrictions on broilers and eggs, and continues to assist agricultural practitioners in coping with inflationary pressures through subsidy programs and aid payments. Although the inflation rate has increased, it is still the lowest in Southeast Asia.

According to reports, the measures taken by the Malaysian government to cap prices have prevented egg farmers from pricing at cost, such as each egg being priced atforty-oneThe selling of eggs at a high price has forced egg farmers to engage in a 'loss making business', forcing them to reduce their egg production and even choose not to engage in egg production, causing a serious shortage of eggs in Malaysia.
