INTRODUCTION

Coronavirus 2019 nCOV causing Covid-19

• Covid-19 virus formerly known as 2019 Novel Coronavirus 2019 nCoV

• Covid-19 virus are mainly transmitted by large respiratory droplets and

direct or indirect contact with infected secretions.

• Also detected in blood, feces and urine

A world-wide pandemic

• in USA, 23 states had reported a total of

16,233 cases of Covid 19 infections in 239

meat and poultry processing facilities. (July

2020).

• Also reported in processing plants in

many other countries (in Europe, Brazil,

Malaysia)

FLFAM

Biosecurity and Biosafety Measures

Biosecurity = measures to prevent the introduction of the virus

Biosafety = to prevent the spread of the virus to the people and

environment

Objectives• Establish strategies and actions required to minimize the risk of virus

entry into the poultry establishments, and establish biocontainment

measures to prevent spread of the virus

• Delineate responsibilities and procedures to address an infectious

disease incident.

FLFAM

Strategies

1. Awareness (Risk Communication)

• Advocacy on risks, consequences and measures to prevent infection & spread to all stakeholders.

• Advocacy at workplace, hostel and transporters

• Risk communication methods e.g. meetings, posters, pamphlets, daily announcements

2. Prevention and Control

• Establish Emergency Response Team (ERT)

• Biosecurity: Reduce the risk of exposure and infection to all stakeholders (workers, security guards, office staff, transporters, canteen operators, etc.).

• Biocontainment: Contain any infected cluster and reduce the possibility of spread and transmission.

Risk Intervention Measures at Poultry Establishments

1. Screening individual temperatures and typical COVID-19 symptoms

before entering the facilities. When possible, provide access to medical

personnel (e.g. nurse)

2. Use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and practice

Social Distancing

3. Maintain a designated area for all external visitors and restrict visitor

interactions with plant workers and operations to essential activities

only

4. Change the settings (e.g. add barriers) in common places (e.g. break

rooms for farm workers) to maintain physical distancing.

5. Install footbaths and hand wash stations in between different areas if

possible, and change the disinfectant frequently.

FLFAM

Risk Intervention Measures at Poultry Establishments

6. Compartmentalisation (by time and physical location) of work

stations and workforce for business sustenance.

7. Split the workforce into different working hours with no or minimal

physical contact. Stagger workers entering or leaving the premises.

8. Stagger mealtimes and break times to avoid large gatherings in

locker rooms and canteen

9. Provide guidance and supervision to clean and disinfect the work

environment before and after shifts, including all staff amenities,

transport vehicles and hostels (especially for foreign workers).

10. Prepare for shortage of workforce and develop a contingency plan.

Sanitation at farm or plant entrance.

Follow MOH and Staff

nurse or OHD advisory

(trace of close contacts for

medical check-ups and

quarantine if required)

Emergency Response Procedures

Inform ERT

1. If an employee body

temperature ≥ 37.5⁰ Celsius

2. If an employee is confirmed

with positive Covid-19.

3. If an employee direct or indirect

contact with infected person & feel

sick

Action Taken:

Ensure case is refer to

staff nurse and follow the

advise or guidelines for

further medication

The Movement Control Order (MCO) •Implementation of 3S/3C

•Limiting movement of public in moving around and crossing area

•No tourist from overseas is allowed

•F&B outlets have many restriction such customers per table and operation hours

•Many had choose to end their business

•School Closed

FLFAM

The Movement Control Order (MCO)

FLFAM


The Movement Control Order (MCO)

•Consumers changes their Food Choice from diner in to take out/delivery/self

cooking

•Consumers is going for quick prepare food

•Consume less due to the economic impact

This effect the demand for

Chicken and eggs drop

FLFAM


The Movement Control Order (MCO)in order to increase social distancing and slow down the transmission rate of the virus

18 March 2020 to 12 May 2020 – MCO Period

Demand of eggs good but chicken is bad

13 May 2020 to 9 Jun 2020 – CMCO Period

Demand of eggs drop but chicken increase

10 Jun 2020 to 31 Dec 2020 – RMCO Period

Both Demand for eggs and chicken drop

FLFAM


1. Close working stations and the use of Foreign Workers pose the

outbreak of Covid-19 in slaughter houses and processing plants.

2. Reduced slaughtering and processing capacity can limit the meat

output – notably for labor-intensive slaughterhouses and food

processing plants. It is estimated by WHO that 15% production

drop in Poultry Processing.

Processing and distribution

FLFAM


Processing and distribution

FLFAM


Farms

1. MCOs pose travel restrictions and hinder farmers from accessing

farming inputs, supplies and equipment, such as feed, replacement stocks

(chicks), breeding materials and farm house’s spare parts;

2. Cause a temporary labor shortage; result in poultry and product

inefficient such as maintaining good biosecurity, vaccination, medical

treatment of sick birds and prophylactic treatment– resulted increased in

the costing

3. The overstocking of poultry due to not able to market at farms could

increase stress and the prevalence of poultry diseases, and compromise

animal welfare standards. This also effect the continue supply

FLFAM


Farms continued ….

4. Movement restrictions and quarantine measures limit farmers’

ability to access basic veterinary services and also pose

challenges for veterinary and veterinary paraprofessionals to visit

farms.

5. The farmers and/or producers themselves can be affected by

COVID-19, preventing them from maintaining their normal

routine work during their own illness and convalescence period

6. Due to many farm worker’s house are “kampong house” (no

registered with local government) can not qualified based on the

new regulation

FLFAM

Feed Mills

Feed price has been increased for RM 4 per 50 Kg bag due to increase

of Raw materials such as Corn, Soybean Mill and CPO

Based on the current pricing situation, it is believed that Feed price will

continue increase!!!!!!!!

FLFAM


In Summary

1. Marketing

Need to develop more ready to eat products

Develop e-marketing

2. Processing Plants and Farms

Need to assure the health of workers

Maintain the social distance in work place

Try to isolate the operation by limiting visitors

ECONOMIC PERSPECTIVE OF THE MALAYSIAN AGROFOOD INDUSTRY

Impact of

COVID-19 on the

Malaysian

Economy

(DOSM)

Agri-food sector during lockdown

SUPPLY DEMAND- Agriculture, livestock and fishery supply chain are allowed

to work as usual to ensure adequate supply of food during

lockdown (Hossain, 2020).

- Demand for fresh produce has declined (Hossain, 2020).

- Effective delivery of agricultural inputs is a challenge due to

restrictions on traffic and operating hours under MCO. This

has affected the food production chain (Hossain, 2020).

- Closure of selected market such as farmer’s market and

HORECA reduces agri-food demand. Limited operation hours

also further reduces agri-food demand.

- Limited wholesaler/foreign labor has affected agriculture

supply management in the wholesale market.

- Consumer purchasing behavior has changed and prefer a

longer live shelf products than a fresh produce.

- Limited imported food such as vegetables due to border

closure.

- Increasing trend in online purchasing.

Challenges in the Poultry Industry

• Import dependent supply

• Supply chain disruption during MCO

(resulting in oversupply during the initial

stage of lockdown)

• Foreign labor

Challenges in the Poultry Industry

• DEMAND

• Reduced demand from HORECA, tourism industry, travel restriction (international and domestic): shifting the demand of beef and chicken as source of meat protein (Ferlito, 2020)

• Reduction in the export of poultry products (Ferlito, 2020)
