How will closing 30 pig farms affect Tanjong Sepat operators?

Question

## Closing 30 pig farms in Tanjong Sepat will require 87 operators to wind down operations and transition to other agricultural activities, with government assistance and land restoration plans reviewed on June 9.

Accepted Answer

Selangor Infrastructure and Agriculture Exco Datuk Izham Hashim said the closure involves about 30 farms still operating in various stages, with around 11,000 remaining animals. Operators will not bring in new piglets, and all remaining pigs will be slaughtered at the Rawang slaughterhouse as the process is carried out in stages. A June 9 meeting will review federal and state assistance measures, including land restoration efforts, and how the 87 farm operators can switch to other suitable agricultural activities after livestock operations cease completely.
