No More Egg Shortage In The
Sultanate
By Rosli Abidin Yahya
Bandar Seri
Begawan - The temporary importation of eggs from neighbouring
countries has successfully alleviated the egg shortage in the country.
Grocery shop operators said as a
result of allowing the importation of eggs in large quantities by the
Department of Agriculture, Ministry of Industry and Primary Resources,
the Sultanate now has enough egg supplies for everyone.
A few days before the Chinese New
Year festivities last month, the country experienced a shortage of
eggs.
Earlier, the Department of
Agriculture had allowed only a limited number of imported eggs, which
was insufficient to cater to the local demand.
"With the increased import quota of
eggs, the egg shortage has been overcome," said traders who extended
their thanks to the Department of Agriculture for their swift action.
Egg production in the country has
reached 108 million per year with an average of eight to nine million
per month. --
