Excerpts from Malaysia Country Statement at the 54th Session of the United Nations Commission on Population and Development, 19-23 April 2021, New York. |
| Abstract |
Malaysia occupies a commendable position in the 2019 Global Food Security Index, jumping to 28th place as compared to 48th in 2018. The national level food availability data indicates that there are sufficient supply of major food commodities for the population. All major foods are available in sufficient quantities to meet the market demands. Food access is no longer an issue for most Malaysians, with better processing, transport and storage systems and distribution arrangements. |
