The RM160 million investment will be jointly funded by MFM and its partner in a 51:49 ratio.
In May 2021, MFM formed a joint venture with meat processor and marketer Tyson Foods for its poultry segment. The partnership leverages Tyson's global network, proprietary technology and market reputation to increase sales, access export markets and improve operational efficiency.
Meanwhile, the flour and grain trading segment will invest RM55 million to expand capacity and improve efficiency across key markets in Malaysia and Vietnam.
'This includes RM20 million for automation at our flour mills in Lumut and Pasir Gudang to reduce manual labour, enhance efficiency and ensure consistent product quality,' Teh said at a press conference after the group's 65th annual general meeting today.
In Vietnam, Teh said the company will invest RM34 million to scale operations. Of this, RM21 million will go towards expanding capacity and upgrading its northern Vietnam plant, while RM13 million is allocated for building flour silos and blending facilities in the southern region.
'These strategies enable us to meet the growing demand for flour and flour-related products in both Malaysia and Vietnam,' he added.

Rubber Market Ends Lower On Weak Regional Cues, Middle East Tensions

She noted that market sentiment was further dampened by the global economic uncertainty stemming from the escalating conflict in the Middle East, mixed benchmark crude oil prices, and weak Chinese economic data. KUALA LUMPUR, June 23 (Bernama) -- The Malaysian rubber market ended lower today, weighed down by weaker cues from regional rubber markets, said a dealer. 'Asian stocks fell on Monday as risk appetite was battered by the United States' (US) attack on Iran's nuclear sites over the weekend, marking a potentially dire escalation in the Middle Eastern conflict,' she told Bernama. She added that Brent crude oil prices rose sharply in early Asian Trade on Monday, as the US strike heightened fears of supply disruption, although crude pared some of its early gains later in the day. On another note, China's Fiscal revenue fell 0.3 per cent year-on-year in the first five months of 2025, amid mounting economic pressure from US tariffs and global trade uncertainties.

Ballot Draw System Boosts Bumiputera Contractor Standards, Marketability

KUCHING, June 23 (Bernama) -- The ballot draw programme for G1 to G4 contractors, introduced by the Works Ministry since 2020, has raised the standards, capabilities, competitiveness and marketability of Bumiputera contractors. Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi said good procedures would yield good outcomes, and the initiative will be continued with improvements from year to year. 'The ballot draw process is a transparent and fair mechanism to select contractors from among qualified and competent companies with strong track records. 'This reflects the MADANI government's ongoing commitment through the MADANI pillars of Sustainability, Innovation and Trust in empowering and strengthening the local Bumiputera contractor economy,' he said at the ballot draw ceremony for the 2025 Federal Road Periodic Maintenance Contract in Sarawak for G1-G4 contractors here today. Nanta said the awarding of contracts was not merely about executing work, but a trust that requires strong commitment to ensure road maintenance is carried out according to specifications, for the safety of road users. He said contractors must ensure good and systematic contract management with a clear understanding of contract contents, including work specifications, implementation schedules and reporting requirements. 'Secondly, practise efficient work and resource management. This includes well-structured work scheduling, effective workforce management, and optimal use of resources such as machinery and raw materials. 'And thirdly, prioritise sound financial management. Many contractors in the construction and maintenance sector face problems due to weaknesses in project and financial management,' he said. Nanta said failure by contractors to fulfil their responsibilities could result in the public bearing the consequences, especially due to poorly maintained roads that do not meet contractual specifications
