Malaysia’s Ministry of Health will implement new policies related to the amount of sampling required to monitor imported foods, introduced by a 2023 program participant on regulatory protocols on import/export documentation and sanitary/logistical practices. The participant cited the program as having a significant impact on the policy, providing clarity on requirements associated with the importation of agricultural products. The new policy for Malaysia will help decrease the costs associated with importing goods due to more efficient monitoring practices.
