Malaysia sees first export of locally produced fresh milk with delivery to Singapore

Malaysia-based Fraser & Neave Holdings Bhd has officially flagged off its inaugural bulk fresh milk export from F&N AgriValley in Gemas to Singapore, marking the country's first-ever export of locally produced bulk fresh milk.

"This milestone marks a significant step forward for Malaysia's dairy industry and reflects the country's growing capability to meet international standards in modern agriculture. Through strong collaboration between the public and private sectors in advancing our national food security agenda, Malaysia is well positioned to emerge as a key regional player in high-quality dairy production," said Datuk Seri Isham Bin Ishak.

In this first shipment, two specialised export trucks carrying a total of 40,000 litres of bulk 100% fresh milk departed F&N AgriValley in Gemas for F&N Foods Pte Ltd (F&NF).

"With fresh milk transported from Gemas, Malaysia to Singapore within hours, it can arrive at F&NF to be processed and packed within 24 hours of milking. This streamlined process further enhances freshness while ensuring the quality and nutrition that consumers in Singapore already enjoy," said Siew Peng Yim, managing director of F&NF.

F&N AgriValley houses its cattle in freestall barns equipped with intelligent environmental control systems designed to optimise animal comfort and welfare. The farm utilises rotary milk parlours, an end-to-end closed system that ensures the milk remains untouched to the container filling station. The milk then undergoes multiple quality control checks, from raw materials to bulk export, to ensure it is fully compliant with Singapore Food Agency regulatory standards.
