  • Malayan Flour Mills and Jiangsu Huali signed an MoU covering poultry-farming equipment procurement for an expansion by MFM subsidiary Dindings Poultry Development Centre.
  • The proposed cooperation includes equipment, technical solutions, training, knowledge transfer, after-sales service and computerized maintenance-management systems.
  • The arrangement requires approval from Malaysia’s Agriculture and Food Security Ministry and remains a framework for separately negotiated agreements.

Malayan Flour Mills Berhad is looking to modernize and expand its poultry operations through a new cooperation framework with China’s Jiangsu Huali Co., Ltd.

The memorandum of understanding was signed by MFM subsidiary Dindings Poultry Development Centre Sdn Bhd during the Malaysia Agriculture, Horticulture and Agrotourism Exhibition 2026. It sets out discussions on equipment procurement for DPDC, but the proposal remains subject to approval by the Agriculture and Food Security Ministry.

Through the combination of DPDC’s local poultry-farming experience with Jiangsu Huali’s capabilities in digital and livestock farming, we aim to provide solutions for farms in Malaysia that can be adapted to local operating conditions and applied consistently across the poultry-farming industry.

— Teh Wee ChyeMFM’s managing director described the purpose of the proposed technology cooperation.

The planned cooperation covers a complete package of equipment and technical solutions, along with training and knowledge transfer for DPDC’s Technical and Vocational Education and Training team. It also includes after-sales and maintenance services, plus data and solutions for a computerized maintenance-management system.

In the long term, this effort can contribute to a stronger, technology-driven local poultry industry.

— Teh Wee ChyeHe outlined the expected longer-term contribution of the cooperation.

MFM Executive Deputy Chairman and Managing Director Teh Wee Chye said Malaysia’s effort to reach a chicken-meat production target of 140 percent by 2030 would require higher output without compromising biosecurity or operational efficiency. He said DPDC’s local poultry expertise could be combined with Jiangsu Huali’s digital and livestock-farming capabilities to develop systems suited to Malaysian operating conditions.

At MAHA 2026, MFM also displayed a model of the Dindings Tyson Poultry House. Wee Chye described the model as a practical example of how modern closed-house farming can work at farm level, supporting a shift away from conventional open-house systems. The MoU runs until Aug. 31, 2027, while implementation periods, commercial terms and binding agreements will be negotiated separately.

Through this exhibition, we hope to encourage wider technology adoption in the industry and support the transition from conventional open-house systems to technology-based farming methods.
