M'SIA AIMS TO CAPTURE 30 PER CENT OF GLOBAL BIRDS NEST MARKET BY 2020
KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 30 (Bernama) -- Malaysia aims to capture 30 per cent of the
global birds nest market, which is worth US$1.5 billion (RM4.7 billion)
annually, by 2020 under the government's Economic Transformation Programme.
Veterinary Services Department director-general Dr Abd Aziz Jamaluddin said of
the figure, 70 per cent would be food and drink products and the rest as raw
material.
"The government has classified birds nest production as a high impact industry
that can generate lucrative returns," he told reporters after opening a seminar
on the industry organised by Global Excellent Marketing Sdn Bhd and Kelab
Usahawan Tani Malaysia, here Saturday.
The department, the Ministry of Agriculture and Agro-based Industry are spearheading the industry's growth.
The industry is categorised as an entry point project under the ETP.
