ETP ANNUAL REPORT 2011
Malaysia is the second largest producer and exporter of edible
bird’s nest (EBN), with China as its main market. With a price of
up to RM7,000 per kilogramme for raw cleaned bird’s nest, the
local edible bird’s nest production industry is highly profitable. At
present, most local edible bird’s nest producers are unregistered
to avoid tax, depriving the country of income from this industry.
This EPP aims to regulate the industry and improve traceability
through the registration of edible bird’s nest premises. It also
aims to boost productivity of the industry by encouraging the
establishment of new premises and processing plants, moving
the operations toward downstream product development.
Achievements
In 2011, 3379 edible bird’s nest premises were registered under
the Department of Veterinary Services (DVS) which translated into
an export value of RM81 million.
The chart below shows a significant jump in export quantity since
registration of edible bird’s nest premises in 2010:

This project aims to transform the seaweed farming industry
by improving productivity to increase yield as well as total area
planted to boost the output of seaweed to 150,000 MT in 2020.
This is done by clustering farms under the mini estate farming
concept and moving the industry towards downstream product
development. In 2011, 15 mini estates were expected to be
established over 3,000 hectares of newly gazetted areas for
seaweed farming in Semporna.
Achievements
In 2011, 11 companies have been appointed to be part of this
project. Four mini-estates have been established through the
According to the Roadmap, more swiftlet nest production facilities
are needed within Malaysia to support the planned growth of
the local edible bird’s nest industry in the next nine years. Three
companies, Yanming Resources Sdn Bhd, Golden Silver Inc Group
and Duta Sialin Biotechnology Sdn Bhd, have pledged their
participation in this project by building processing facilities for
bird’s nest to produce higher value raw-clean edible bird’s nests.

EPP EPP33 Mini Estate Farming for Seaweed
The ongoing task is to improve the sustainability and quality
of edible bird’s nest premises and processing plants through
the enforcement of Good Animal Husbandry Practices and the
Veterinary Health Mark by the Department of Veterinary Services.
At the same time, we are moving industry players to produce
high-value edible bird’s nest products by encouraging the
registration of an additional 3,000 premises in 2012 and building
more processing plants.

The Department of Fisheries, Sabah and University Malaysia
Sabah, as the owners of the project, aim to increase production
of seaweed to 35,000 tonnes in 2012. Research and development
(R&D) is also being conducted with a target to develop a total of
15 downstream products derived from seaweed as raw material.
