Indonesian companies will begin exporting chicken products to Singapore, following the country's decision to include Indonesia as a new source for chicken imports. Initial permits have been granted to three Indonesian companies, including subsidiaries of Thailand-based Charoen Pokphand and Indonesian frozen food company Japfa Comfeed. Other Indonesian companies are pursuing permits, awaiting the completion of the audit process by the Singapore Food Agency. This development follows Malaysia's decision to halt the export of whole chickens due to a production stoppage and price surge.
