Singapore's frozen chicken supply unlikely to be affected by Brazil bird flu outbreak
The Singapore Meat Traders' Association said there might be slight delays to frozen chicken imports. It cited the rush by importers around the world to find alternative sources, following a bird flu outbreak in Brazil. The association added that Singapore has sufficient stock and there will likely be no supply disruptions. It has also contacted counterparts in countries like Thailand, Japan and Indonesia, who stand ready to supply to Singapore if needed. Still, some suppliers and restaurants are holding their breaths for a price hike. Rachel Teng reports.
