INTRODUCTION
With rising incomes and increasing consumer demand across Asia presenting export opportunities for
Australian based food and beverage manufacturers, the Australian Food and Grocery Council (AFGC)
AFGC MARKET INSIGHTS: MALAYSIA
commissioned a series of reports to deepen Australian industry understanding of particular markets.
While Australian and international research has focussed on export opportunities for products such as dairy,
meat and wine across Asian markets, there has been little focus on the opportunities for manufactured food
products such as snacks, non-alcoholic beverages, and confectionary.
The aim of this project is to provide insights into some of the opportunities that exist for specific
manufactured food products in particular markets as a means of contributing to, and supporting the
development of, better knowledge of export opportunities of manufactured food into Asia.
PRODUCT AND GEOGRAPHIC
COVERAGE
While there are export opportunities across Asia, the AFGC Market Insights focus on three key makets:
Thailand and Malaysia because of improved access under the respective trade agreeemnts; and China
due to the long term food consumption forecasts.
This Market Insights series of reports focus on the premium retail and Hotels/Restaurants/Cafes (HoReCa)
sector, for the following specific products:
ƒƒ Snackfoods
–– Chocolate
ƒƒ Baked Goods
–– Sugar Confectionery
–– Biscuits
–– Cereal-based Bars
–– Baking Mixes
ƒƒ Beverages
VI
–– Premium Cold Beverages
ƒƒ Condiments
–– Fruit Juice
–– Premium Table Sauces
–– Tea
–– Jams
By concentrating on specific products, the Market Insights report is able to bring deeper insights into the key
considerations for Australian food & beverage manufacturers. These products have been selected for initial
focus for two reasons: (i) each has witnessed significant import growth (between $6m–$219m from
2010–2012 1) into the target markets , and (ii) they are export items supported by capabilities of the
Australian food & beverage sector. Together, these products represent opportunities for food & beverage
exports from Australia into Malaysia.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
With rising incomes and increasing consumer demand across Asia presenting export opportunities for
Australian based food and beverage manufacturers, the Australian Food and Grocery Council (AFGC)
with funding assistance from Austrade, commissioned a series of reports to deepen Australian industry
food products – snacks, beverages, baked goods and condiments — in Malaysia, Thailand and China.
This report is focussed on Malaysia — a market in our part of the world with remarkably similar
characteristics to Australia, particularly when it comes to the middle class consumer. Malaysia is a relatively
easy place for Australians to do business. English is widely spoken, the Commonwealth heritage has
natural similarities to Australia, and its economic development is apparent in public services and consumer
tastes. This, combined with the fact Australia has a free trade agreement in place with Malaysia, makes it a
market well worth considering.
Australian food and beverage suppliers seeking to export should watch export opportunities in Malaysia
very closely. Malaysia is a market growing to 35 million people, with the achievable ambition of joining the
“high income” nation club by 2020.
AFGC MARKET INSIGHTS: MALAYSIA
understanding of the opportunities that exist. These reports examine opportunities for specific manufactured
In addition to the detailed pricing, packaging and other commercial insights, the report identifies some
important trends that have practical implications for your market entry strategy:
ƒƒ Halal certification: Certification, whether by an Australian or Malaysian body, is a virtual necessity.
This gives you easier market access, and the ability to command a higher price. Malaysia is seen as
a leader in the global race for halal standard supremacy. Australian suppliers can leverage this by mixing
halal certification with other hallmarks of distinction — organic halal, gluten free halal etc.
Some Australian SMEs have had great success in this ‘niche within a niche’.
ƒƒ Retail channel differences: Malaysia is differentiated in the region from its slower adoption of the
convenience retail format. In Malaysia, supermarkets and local ‘mini markets’ still dominate.
Premium imported items will find a better fit with the larger supermarket and hypermarket chains.
ƒƒ Sweet-tooth: Malaysian authorities have declared that their citizens are the 8th highest daily average
consumers of sugar in the world. This fact — which sets Malaysians apart from Chinese and Thai
consumers — is reflected in the detailed surveys in this report. Australian suppliers may consider how
their products can be sweetened to suit Malaysian tastes. In doing this, consider that the Malaysian
Government is seeking to introduce new laws on sugar content — such as traffic lights and warnings —
that may lead you to considering alternatives such as artificial sweeteners.
The report also highlights a number of opportunities for each category including:
ƒƒ Chocolates: Single serve portions are popular among health conscious consumers. Wealthy consumers
are aware of quality and willing to pay for imported product.
ƒƒ Confectionery: There is growing demand for lower sugar candy, and a general preference for hard
candy. Popular flavours include fruit mixes, coffee and mint.
IX
ƒƒ Cereal Bars: Increasing health consciousness is driving sales of cereal bars with strong demand from
foreigners, students and the elderly.
ƒƒ Fruit Juice: Orange, apple, pineapple, pink guava, and mixed fruit are popular juices in Malaysia with an
increasing focus on health claims and benefits.
ƒƒ Tea: Recently, fruit flavoured teas have been successful in the Malaysian market with a range of more
AFGC MARKET INSIGHTS: MALAYSIA
traditional teas being widely available.
ƒƒ Premium Cold Beverages: Isotonic, milk, and tea based beverages are popular in the Malaysian
beverage market.
ƒƒ Biscuits: Biscuits are a popular snack food in Malaysia. There is a range of opportunities in both sweet
and savoury biscuits.
ƒƒ Baking mixes: Home baking is increasingly popular due to the influence of cooking shows on television
and has created opportunity for both cake and bread mixes.
ƒƒ Premium Table Sauces: Traditional Asian style sauces are popular in Malaysia. There is opportunity to
bring new flavours to market with consideration of Malaysian tastes and preferences.
ƒƒ Jams: While jam is not a feature of the traditional Malaysian diet, there is demand among tourists,
expatriates and young people in Malaysia. Popular flavours include strawberry, pineapple, grape,
blackcurrant and mixed fruits.
The AFGC hopes this Market Insights report assists Australian suppliers to understand the characteristics
and export opportunities of the Malaysian market and to assess whether their products suit the needs of
Malaysian consumers or require modification for this market.

THE BIG
PICTURE
1.1 DEMOGRAPHICS
Malaysia’s current population is 29 million, though a growth rate of 1.7 per cent per annum will see it reach
35 million by 2030. While the 65+ population is growing faster than other age groups, Malaysia still has a very
young population — the median age is 30 — with 28 per cent aged 15 and below and 67 per cent in the
15–64 year age bracket.2
Malaysia’s population distribution is strongly urbanised — more than three quarters (20 million) of Malaysia’s
population live in peninsular Malaysia and 73 per cent live in urban areas. Malaysia enjoys effective
‘full employment’, with 97 per cent of the working-age population employed and 60 per cent of households
enjoying middle to high incomes with growing purchasing power.
Malaysia’s population comprises multiple ethnic groups, largely Bumiputras (Malays and indigenous Southeast
Asians), but also large Chinese and Indian minorities, all of whom speak at least two languages fluently,
including English. Malaysia’s Constitution defines the Islam as the national religion, though just over half of the
population (61 per cent) identifies as Muslim.
1.2 ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
Malaysia is a successful “high middle-income” economy built on export trade, with ambitions to achieve
“high income nation” status by 2020. These ambitions are the focus of the high profile national economic
development program, known as the Economic Transformation Program (ETP).
Malaysia has developed from a strongly commodity-based economy (rubber, oil & gas, palm oil) to become
the one of the world's largest electronics manufacturer, and is currently the third largest economy in Southeast
Asia, behind Indonesia and Thailand. Malaysia’s GDP was AUD 328.9 billion and GDP per capita reached AUD
11,053 in 2013, which places Malaysia third only to Singapore and Brunei among ASEAN economies.

Malaysia’s economy is heavily trade exposed. Among key ASEAN economies, Malaysia is by far the most
reliant on exports and least reliant on domestic consumption. Goods and services exports equal 87 per cent of
GDP, while domestic consumption equals 49 per cent of GDP.

WorldBank (2013), Euromonitor (2013)
Malaysia enjoys the 10th highest number of tourist arrivals in the world (26 million in 2013), which also
underpins its economic growth. The tourist trade also provides consistently strong demand in the premium food
service sector.
Much of the economic power of Malaysia is centred in the Klang Valley, which includes Kuala Lumpur.
The region is the centre of focus for foreign investors across energy, resources, tourism and — in recent years
— luxury goods retailing. In addition, Johor Bahru and Penang are also commonly cited as growth centres and
1.3 FOOD TRADE WITH AUSTRALIA
Malaysia is a net importer of food, with annual imports valued at more than AUD 12 billion in 2012.3 Food and
beverage imports make up around 5 per cent of all goods imported into Malaysia each year.
Malaysia is currently Australia’s 7th largest export market for food and the 9th largest export market for fresh
produce. However — similarly to Thailand and China — Australia’s market share of Malaysia’s total food
imports has dropped since the early 2000’s. At the same time, other ASEAN countries (such as Indonesia) and
more distant suppliers (such as Brazil) have continuously grown their market share (see Figure 1). Australia’s
major food and beverage exports into Malaysia are sugar and confectionery, cereals, meat, baked goods,
and vegetables. Major growth categories are gums, fats and oils, fruits and nuts, and beverages 4.

FOOD AND
BEVERAGE TRENDS
Malaysia’s cuisine is heavily based on international influences, which makes the country highly dependent on
food imports. Current trends in the food and beverage sector can be seen particularly in the emergence and
growth of the halal food sector, and the evolution of functional, healthy and convenient food products.
2.1 BROAD TRENDS IN FOOD AND
BEVERAGE CONSUMPTION5
In Malaysia, the total Premium Retail Market for the Selected Product Categories constitutes a considerable
market with growth in the range of 2 per cent to 20 per cent expected over the next three years, as set out
in Figure 1 below.

Halal foods
ƒƒ With 61 per cent of the population identifying as Muslim, and Malaysia emerging as a global trusted hub
for Halal standards and quality, suppliers should consider halal certification for products destined for this
market. Importantly, halal certification also attracts a premium price.
ƒƒ The Malaysian halal standard has extended to non-meat product categories and is increasingly marketed
as a signal of quality, safety and hygiene.
leading the way. This allows Australian suppliers achieving halal certification in Malaysia to export or
tranship through Malaysia to global Islamic markets, such as those in the Middle East.
› Specific product trends and insights are included in the relevant product
category sections.
Functional, Convenient and Healthy Foods
ƒƒ Consumer demand for functional, minimally processed fresh, organic and natural foods is growing.
AFGC MARKET INSIGHTS: MALAYSIA
ƒƒ The race for the regional and global champion of halal standards is on – and Malaysia is arguably
A greater choice of healthy food such as products with low salt, fat and artificial additives is expected
to be on the shelves.
ƒƒ Despite an increase in the number of certified organic suppliers in Malaysia, demand for organic food is
still largely met through imports. Organic food enjoys a high level of trust in Malaysia — in particular as it
eliminates or minimises exposure to antibiotics and pesticides.
ƒƒ Urbanisation, rising incomes and longer working hours are driving greater demand for convenience and
ready-made packaged foods. By 2017, packaged food retail sales are forecast to reach AUD 7.26 billion.
Major growth categories include meal replacement, spreads, dairy products, pasta and snack bars.
ƒƒ Demand for food and beverage appropriate for people with allergies and other special needs
(e.g. diabetes, lactose free foods, and gluten free foods) is expected to continue to grow.

profile on Austrade’s website. Refer to Annex VII for relevant links.

2.2 ATTITUDE TO IMPORTED FOOD AND BEVERAGE
On the fast track towards becoming a ‘high income’ country, Malaysia’s urban population is driving growth
in demand for foreign food and beverage. This has been recognised in the Government’s official reaction to
‘self-sufficiency’ targets, which are adopted by many countries in Asia. Malaysia is currently only
5 per cent self‑sufficient in dairy and 70 per cent self-sufficient in food overall. The Government
acknowledges that it must rely on imports to complement domestic food production, with the largest deficit
AFGC MARKET INSIGHTS: MALAYSIA
product categories including fruit, vegetable, dairy, breakfast bars and cereals, and rice.
In the Premium HoReCa Market, foreign chefs in Kuala Lumpur in particular have a preference for
imported products. The food service industry in general is highly brand conscious, but demands
extremely strict halal requirements.
Despite strong growth in imported food and beverage, Australian exports suffer from a perceived lack of
unique sales proposition. US and UK manufactured products are typically cheaper (due to production
economies of scale) while European products enjoy a greater association with premium or luxury products.
There are exceptions that may hold lessons for Australian suppliers. For example, Chile has managed
to grow a substantial beverage export business into Malaysia. For Asian traditional foods, Japanese and
Korean food manufacturers have been very competitive as they are able to adapt products more quickly
to regional trends.
2.3 OUTLINE OF THE FOOD AND BEVERAGE SUPPLY CHAIN
2.3.1 Retail store formats
Malaysia’s food retail sector is fragmented, with around 56 per cent being made up of small retailers
operating in small shops and grocery stores, which are typically not air-conditioned. Modern larger-store
formats such as supermarkets and hypermarkets have around 43 per cent share of the retail food segment.
The number of convenience stores have been small to-date, with only 1 per cent share of the retail food
market, but this segment is forecast to grow with changing urban lifestyles and higher demand for smaller
food and drink packages and ready-to-eat meals.
Supermarkets, hypermarkets and department stores with supermarkets
The numbers of supermarkets and hypermarkets is growing, with most stores favouring locations in the
major urban centres. Foreign-owned retailers operating in Malaysia include Tesco, Carrefour, Giant
(Dairy Farms International), and Jaya Jusco (AEON). They typically have strong representation of imported
products to meet demand from their middle and high-income customers. Retail outlets that target middle to
high income locals and expatriates offer more imported branded products from Western countries such as
Australia, New Zealand, the US, Canada, France, Italy and the UK. The larger stores also offer additional
shopping experiences such as alcoholic beverage corners, health food sections, in-store wet markets,
and bakeries.
6
Convenience stores
Convenience stores are located in larger cities and along the North-South highway across Peninsular
Malaysia. Malaysia’s 7-Eleven (operating under local entity, Berjaya Retail Bhd), is the largest convenience
store chain, with about 1,600 outlets. The convenience retail format is also building out among the petrol
station chains — there are now more than 3,000 petrol station convenience stores operated by petroleum
companies such as Petronas, Shell, Petron, Caltex and BHPetrol. These air-conditioned convenience stores
carry a smaller range of popular processed and packaged food and beverage products compared to those
which may be heated at the store for immediate consumption. Most products are in single-serve packaging.
Traditional and ‘Mini Market’ store formats
Found in all cities, towns and villages, traditional grocery stores remain the largest store format in Malaysia.
The sector is dominated by small family-owned businesses that target price sensitive customers and those
looking for convenience. These mainly open-fronted stores usually offer local products and small amounts
of popular imported produce. In the larger cities, these stores are increasingly upgrading to a ‘mini-market’
format — with wider aisles and better organised shelves. This format tries to compete against the major
supermarket and hypermarket chains, while maintaining a friendly neighbourhood atmosphere.

ƒƒ Home-grown store that offers price-competitive products
2.3.2 Premium HoReCa Market
Malaysia has a sizable and growing consumer food service market. Dining out in Malaysia is a national
pastime, underpinned by cheap prices, an abundance of choice and long opening hours. This reduces
incentives to cook at home. It is estimated that the food service market today is valued between
AUD 5.2 billion to AUD 5.8 billion with annual growth forecast between 7–10 per cent per year since 2012.
Hotels and resorts and the institutional (corporate) sub-sectors in Malaysia represent the best potential
customers for Australian suppliers, with their higher proportion of premium consumers.
8
2.3.3 Distribution channels
In Malaysia, only licensed importers can manage import procedures and have the right to import products.
Different product categories require different import licences and distribution channels. Most food importers
also act as distributors and most imported food and beverages are channelled through importers/distributors
who normally distribute direct to retailers and catering end-users.
AFGC MARKET INSIGHTS: MALAYSIA
FIGURE 2: ROUTES TO THE MARKET — RETAILERS
In the HoReCa industry, foreign suppliers are typically required to work with food distributors in the premium
food segment that take over the import process for them. Through their dealers, they market the products to
the individual HoReCa branches.
› Refer to Annex IV for important Premium HoReCa
Market contacts.

AFGC MARKET INSIGHTS: MALAYSIA
FIGURE 3: ROUTES TO THE MARKET — HORECA
Accessing Malaysian supermarkets and hypermarkets
Major supermarket chains in Malaysia have a mix of direct and distributor-sourced imports.
Direct purchasing is typically for larger volume products, where experienced foreign suppliers can meet
retailer requirements — and cutting out the distributor can generate significant savings. Second-tier
supermarkets and local convenience stores buy almost all of their imported product through importers/
agents due to their lack of adequate central warehousing, processing and delivering facilities.
This likelihood to source directly will increase as smaller scale chains become more sophisticated.
Accessing Malaysian convenience stores
Exporters should view the convenience store sector as a secondary market to target, after having first
entered the supermarket and hypermarket segment. This route to market will necessitate the use of
importers/distributors who will have the necessary relationships with 7-Eleven and the petrol station
convenience stores. The key to this format in Malaysia is ensuring availability of product in smaller sizes.
Accessing the Malaysian premium HoReCa market
Most food service sectors, i.e. hotels, restaurants and fast food operators, are not equipped or resourced
to handle direct import from a large number of individual suppliers overseas. It is critically important to use
experienced and well-connected importer/distributors in Malaysia.
10
Distributors
A number of retailers have established importer/distributor operations as subsidiaries, with Siam
Makro being a major player in the distribution of bulk goods to the supermarket and HORECA industry.
Australian exporter BEMCO plays an important role as consolidator for small orders and small to medium
purchases. Australian exporters are often not prepared for the fact that international marketing activities
are quite costly, and can underestimate the importance of educating buyers about new products,
2.3.4 Food trade shows
New brands should consider exhibiting at trade shows to receive buyer feedback and to establish contact
with importers and distributors who have experience in the specific category. The major food trade shows in
Malaysia are listed below.

› For more information on these major trade shows, refer to Annex VI.
Insights — Routes to the market
ƒƒ Start by assessing whether your product needs any adjustment in ingredients or packaging to suit
the Malaysian consumer.
ƒƒ Consider adapting your product to the local market, e.g. use more colourful packaging and add/
change flavours if necessary (this has been the major challenge for Australian exporters in the past).
ƒƒ Keep in mind that Malaysia wants to establish itself as the Halal hub.
ƒƒ Distributors do not offer much help with certification/licensing issues, but will be able to provide
some general assistance on compliance.

REGULATORY AND
TRADING ENVIRONMENTS
3.1 TRADE POLICY POSITION AND APPROACH TO
TRADE AGREEMENTS
The Malaysian Government has a relatively open approach to international trade. Officials acknowledge
the reliance on imported product, particularly for strong growth categories, such as meat and dairy,
as 95 per cent of product is imported. The Government has an aggressive approach to trade agreements,
actively seeking new partners and driving negotiations with most of its significant trading partners.
At present, The Malaysian Government is keen to provide incentives for foreign food manufacturers to
establish local facilities. They offer, for example, tax free holidays (up to 10 years in “Halal Business Parks”)
and have been relatively successful in attracting multinational food manufacturers.
Malaysia and Australia recently signed a Free Trade Agreement (MAFTA) which came into force on 1
January 2013. This goes further and deeper than the 2010 ASEAN-Australia-NZ FTA, to which Malaysia
was also a signatory. In addition, Malaysia has FTAs with Chile, India, Japan, New Zealand, and Pakistan.
A bilateral FTA with the European Union is now underway. As an ASEAN member, it also has regional FTAs
with China, Korea, Japan and India, in addition to the regional agreement with Australia and New Zealand.

3.2 TARIFF AND NON-TARIFF BARRIERS
PRACTICAL TIP — Make sure your Malaysian customer knows about duty relief for
Australian exports, under our bilateral FTA.
The Malaysia-Australia Free Trade Agreement (MAFTA) has significantly reduced tariffs on trade between
the countries. 97.6 per cent of Australian goods currently exported to Malaysia became eligible for tariff‑free
treatment on entry into force of the Agreement (1 January 2013), which will rise to 99 per cent in 2017.
Processed foods are typically tariff-free.
Tariff rate quotas
Under MAFTA, Malaysia has tariff rate quotas in place for products such as dairy, meat and eggs that are
expanded on a yearly basis. “In quota” tariffs are at 0 per cent and “out of quota” tariffs range from
10 per cent to 25 per cent.
3.2.2 Non-Tariff Barriers (NTBs)
AFGC MARKET INSIGHTS: MALAYSIA
3.2.1 Tariff Barriers
Processed/packaged foods enjoy low levels of non-tariff trade barriers (NTBs).
3.3 OVERVIEW OF FOOD REGULATION AND
IMPORT STANDARDS
Food safety and quality control are governed by Malaysia’s Food Act 1983 and the Food Regulations of
1985. These comprise of food standards, food hygiene, food import and export, food advertisement and
accreditation of laboratories. The Ministry of Health’s (MOH) Food Safety and Quality Division (FSQD) is
responsible for law enforcement and implementation. FSQD monitors for specific food contaminants and
additives and implements training programs, approves food labels, advises industry and consumers, and
provides Health Certificates, HACCP certification, and Free Sale Certificates.
Amended halal regulations
The amended Trade Description Act 2011 for halal certification and marking for products intended for
Muslim consumers, defines that imported food for the Muslim consumer base has to be certified halal by
a JAKIM certified company. The Malaysian halal standards are generally perceived as being stricter than
those of other Islamic countries.
13
3.3.1 Registration and Certification
Halal requirements:
ƒƒ Halal certification, which is now almost a prerequisite for market access, is a detailed process
that requires extensive documentation including inspections by the relevant certification bodies.
However, Halal certification is crucial for export success and will typically result in faster clearance
AFGC MARKET INSIGHTS: MALAYSIA
of products through customs.
ƒƒ Halal assessments have to be made regarding the production process (inspection of facilities required)
and product ingredients (sampling and testing). There are eight certification bodies in Australia
(certified by JAKIM, the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia) and costs for facility inspections
differ depending on the certification bodies and the inspection and testing required. Processed food
ingredients need to be checked for animal fats or other ingredients originating from animals; this
means that the whole supply chain might have to be assessed, since all suppliers need to be Halal
certified as well.
ƒƒ Malaysian halal standards are stricter than the multilaterally-agreed Codex Alimentarius halal standard,
e.g. segregated transportation for halal and non-halal products is a requirement.
› To see a list of Halal certification bodies in Australia, refer to Annex VII.
Certificate of origin
Australian suppliers do not need to supply a certificate of origin, but rather a simpler declaration of origin.
The Rules of Origin (ROO) requires that exports from Australia are supported by a Declaration
of Origin (DOO).
› Further information about Certificate of Origin/Declaration of Origin can be found on
the DFAT website. Please refer to Annex VII for relevant links.

3.3.2 Labelling
Malaysia’s Ministry of Agriculture’s Food and Agriculture Marketing Authority 3P (grading packaging and
labelling) sets the labelling standards. Specific information can be found on the Austrade website

SUMMARY
Malaysia is a market in our part of the world with remarkably similar characteristics to Australia, particularly
when it comes the middle class consumer. Australian food and beverage suppliers seeking to export should
AFGC MARKET INSIGHTS: MALAYSIA
watch export opportunities in Malaysia very closely.
Malaysia could — and should — be considered a second or third step for exporters after New Zealand
and the highly competitive Singapore. This is a market growing to 35 million people, with the achievable
ambition of joining the “high income” nation club by 2020.
Australia’s signing of a Free Trade Agreement with Malaysia in 2013, to build on the ASEAN-Australia-New
Zealand FTA of 2010 to which Malaysia was also a signatory, should place Australian suppliers in a prime
position to enter the market. However, as for Thailand, our overall market share of Malaysia’s total food
imports are actually decreasing. In recent times, exporters from as far away as Chile have been muscling
in on key areas such as fruit juice.
We hope this Market Insights report assists Australian suppliers in recognising the opportunities for their
products into Malaysia. In addition to the detailed pricing, packaging and other commercial insights,
we have identified some important trends which have practical implications for your market entry strategy:
ƒƒ Halal certification: certification, whether by an Australian or Malaysian body, is a virtual necessity.
This gives you easier market access, and the ability to command a higher price. Malaysia is seen
as a leader in the global race for halal standard supremacy. Australian suppliers can leverage this
by mixing halal certification with other hallmarks of distinction — organic halal, gluten free halal etc.
Some Australian SMEs have had great success in this ‘niche within a niche’.
ƒƒ Retail channel differences: Malaysia is differentiated in the region from its slower adoption of
the convenience retail format. In Malaysia, supermarkets and local ‘mini markets’ still dominate.
Premium imported items will find a better fit with the larger supermarket and hypermarket chains,
while higher volume budget-priced items can be successfully sold through distributors to the
traditional family‑owned stores.
ƒƒ Sweet-tooth: Malaysian authorities have declared that their citizens are the 8th highest daily average
consumers of sugar in the world. This fact — which sets Malaysians apart from Chinese and Thai
consumers — is reflected in the detailed surveys in this report. Australian suppliers may consider how
their products can be sweetened to suit Malaysian tastes. In doing this, consider that the Malaysian
Government is seeking to introduce new laws on sugar content — such as traffic lights and warnings
— that may lead you to considering alternatives such as artificial sweeteners.
Malaysia is a nice place for Australians to do business. English is widely spoken, the Commonwealth
heritage has natural similarities to Australia, and its economic development is apparent in public services
and consumer tastes.
