Malaysia plans to increase frozen-fish reserves ahead of seasonal supply pressure
RTM reports the agriculture minister’s plan to expand national frozen-fish reserves; the increase amount and completion date are unstated.
Government broadcaster RTM reports Mohamad Sabu’s statement during the Dewan Rakyat budget debate. He cited 10,000 metric tonnes of accumulated frozen-fish stocks as of 30 September 2026.
What changed
An institutional food-supply measure, not advice for households to stockpile fish.
Who this is for
Fisheries supply organisations, fishing communities and consumers relying on stable protein supplies.
Dates & context
The minister linked the measure to anticipated El Niño and northeast-monsoon effects. The existing September inventory is not the quantity newly purchased, and the report provides no household storage target.
