The Malaysian swiftlet nest industry makes up 20% of the global market share and we compete with a high number of fakes and adulterated swiftlet nests from neighbouring countries. Therefore the second project within this EPP is the swiftlet nests production in Malaysia to high value markets in China, Japan and Taiwan.
A total of 60% out of 980 birds’ nest houses and processing plants are currently using the system. The authority is currently negotiating with China for the level of acceptable nitrite. Once the import ban by China is lifted, Malaysia’s swiftlet nest exports done via the Swiftlet Nest Online Traceability System will have added security to ensure authenticity of birds’ nest from Malaysia.
