  • The consumption of red meat, especially lamb, is witnessing a significant rise over the past few years in Malaysia. Malaysia imports the vast majority of its red meat, roughly 80% beef and 95% lamb ( according to the South-East Asia regional manager of Meat and Livestock Australia (MLA), Valeska )
  • Packaged meat products are gaining huge popularity among Malay consumers, especially in urban regions. A crucial factor boosting the sales of packaged meat products is its clear labelling of halal and non-halal products.
  • The Malaysian government is focusing on expanding imports and exports of meat within the country. Malaysia is Australia’s second-largest mutton export market and a major supplier of live goats.
