KUALA LUMPUR – Frozen meat and seafood importer Eurofresh Sdn Bhd is focused on supplying fresh local meat – particularly from Perak – in a year’s time.

Its general manager, Mohamad Hisam Mohamad Yusof, said a subsidiary of the Perak Agriculture Development Corporation is planning to increase local meat production, as well as provide a fresh meat receiving and processing centre.

“In terms of marketing, we already have a network of imported meat buyers, but for fresh local meat, we want to ensure that there is enough supply first.

“We don’t want to discover midway a shortage in supply. We want supply continuity,” he told reporters yesterday at the company’s plant in Damansara.

Hisam said the company imports halal-certified products, and has an import permit from the Malaysian Quarantine and Inspection Services Department.

“We don’t use a middleman, and adhere to standards set by the authorities,” he said, adding that the company’s frozen meat comes from Australia, New Zealand, India, Brazil and Japan, while the frozen seafood is imported from Chile, Alaska, Korea and China. – Bernama, January 13, 2021
