Malaysia Animal Feed Market Trends:

Focus on Sustainable Feed Alternatives

The increasing environmental and economic issues independently prompt the search for alternatives are resulting in sustainability in animal feed production, the new trend in Malaysia. The demand for alternate options of creating domestic feed supply was increasingly rising in the agriculture industry, as the latter's reliance on imports was strongly emerging as an issue to be addressed. Long-term sustainability by the industry requires engagement with locally produced sustainable feed ingredients. In May 2025, Malaysia launched a new sorghum variety, Putra SB2, which can be used as a substitute for imported animal feed as a more sustainable option. The move contributes significantly to lessening Malaysia's reliance on expensive foreign feed ingredients. Introducing Putra SB2 gives farmers a low-cost, high-quality source of feed that has the potential to enhance feed efficiency and animal health. Through the transition to local production, the growth of the Malaysia animal feed market is expected to be accelerated since resources are allocated towards growing and using domestic crops. This development is likely to fuel greater demand for alternative sources of feed that will lead to the overall stability and sustainability of the animal feed industry. With increasing demand for local, low-cost feed, the launch of Putra SB2 is a testament to Malaysia's determination in alleviating food insecurity and consolidating its agricultural economy, marking a major milestone in the development of Malaysia's feed industry.

Expansion to Meet Growing Demand

The rapid growth of Malaysia's poultry industry has highlighted the increasing need for expanded local production to meet rising consumer demand. With more consumers seeking poultry products, the pressure to ensure an efficient and sustainable feed supply is growing. In this context, modernization and expansion are essential to maintaining the competitiveness and resilience of the industry. This trend is reshaping how local feed is produced and distributed, as companies invest in infrastructure to improve both capacity and efficiency. In April 2025, Hock Soon Capital expanded its poultry operations in Malaysia, including significant upgrades to its feedmill and the construction of a modern poultry farm. This expansion aimed to meet the surging demand for high-quality poultry products, such as eggs, which are critical to Malaysia's food security. The facility includes 25 closed-house coops designed to improve biosecurity and farm efficiency, ensuring better control over production and feed consumption. Moreover, by upgrading the feedmill, Hock Soon is improving its feed quality and production efficiency, reducing dependency on imported feed, and supporting the Malaysia animal feed market. The expansion further enhances Malaysia's self-sufficiency in food production, aligning with the country’s broader goal of boosting local agricultural output. This move positions Hock Soon Capital to play a significant role in Malaysia’s growing poultry sector while maintaining a focus on sustainability and high standards in feed and production practices.
