Govt to keep monitoring egg prices despite subsidy cut – Armizan

  • Starting May 1, the Malaysian government halved the egg subsidy from 10 sen to 5 sen for each egg, with plans to completely eliminate the subsidy by August 1, 2025.
  • This subsidy reduction follows the Agriculture Ministry's plan to lift price controls on eggs to promote a market-driven pricing system.
  • Restaurant owners in Johor Baru say they will absorb extra costs to avoid raising food prices, while families may feel greater impact from subsidy removal.
  • Experts expect a potential 10 sen rise in egg prices during the transition but say stable supply and liberalisation could strengthen the industry and support exports.
  • The subsidy phase-out and price control removal indicate a shift toward sustainable market dynamics, but ongoing monitoring will determine effects on prices and consumers.
