Flap over swiftlet farms In Penang

By MANJIT KAUR

DESPITE the moratorium on swiftlet farming, birdhouses are still being erected on the island, said Penang Local Government and Traffic Management Committee chairman Chow Kon Yeow. He said that prior to 2008, only 20-over licences were issued for the industry but there were now about 200 swiftlet farms.

Chow said the Pakatan Rakyat administration never issued any licences but he was aware of new birdhouses being erected illegally during this period. “Action can be taken against them,” he told reporters after chairing the Penang Local Government Consultative Forum at the Caring Society Complex yesterday.

Chow said they continued to have meetings on the issue at state level and with the local councils, department heads and non-governmental organisations. “We will hold another meeting with the National Heritage Department next week on the Integrated Swiftlets Industry Development Guidelines.

“We can consider various views but all the feedback on the guidelines will be raised at the Local Government National Council Meeting,” he added. Earlier, a discussion involving the Association of Swiftlet Nests Industry president Carole Loh, the state Veterinary Department and several other NGOs was held.

Loh said many people had the wrong perception about the industry, saying the association was willing to compromise with the authorities but a win-win solution was needed. “We have invested so much money into the business after being asked by the previous administration to set up the farms and now the government want us to just move out,” she said.

“There are claims the industry will be a threat to the Unesco listing but I am sure when the status was given, the relevant authorities knew about the industry in George Town. “The swiftlets are a living heritage and were around even before the Unesco status was accorded,” she added. Loh asked where the hundreds of swiftlets would go if their natural habitat was to be destroyed. “Moving out of George Town is not negotiable. In theory, everything can be done but in practice the situation is different,” she added.

Penang municipal councillor Lim Kah Cheng said it was not possible to farm in urban areas, especially in George Town. “If swiftlets are allowed, then how are we going to stop others from having chicken farms?” she asked. “The new government will not follow what has been enforced by the previous administration,” she said, adding that there were laws and regulations to be followed.

Malaysian Nature Society branch chairman D. Kanda Kumar said it was up to the state to adopt the guidelines. “We are not against swiftlet farming but I think the farms should be located in suitable areas,” he added.

Swiftlet farmers face two major risks

Borneo Post

by Philip Wong
August 12, 2010, Thursday

SIBU: Swiftlet breeders, especially those in the urban areas, trying to cash in on the lucrative business are making two major gambles, one of which is that they may ultimately remain as unlicensed operators.

BIG EARNING: Swiftlets busy making nests inside a farmhouse.

The second is whether their farmhouses can attract their intended guests. Secretary of Sarawak Swiftlet Association Colin Wong said there was no guarantee that they would be given the licence to operate their swiftlet farmhouses. “The risk of not getting the licence to operate the swiftlet farmhouses is always there as a decision on issuance of licences for swiftlet breeding is still pending.

“Swiftlet breeders should therefore brace for the high risks involved,” Wong said when commenting on the big interest in the industry lately. Due to its lucrative returns, many potential investors had poured millions into the industry, hoping to make fast gains within one to two years. The retail price of unprocessed nests (unclean, raw) is between RM4,000 and RM5,000 per kilogramme while processed (clean, raw) is RM10,000 and an average farmhouse can produce about 1kg of bird’s nests monthly.

An officer from Sarawak Veterinary Service headquarters, during a recent seminar on ‘Swiftlet Industry in Sarawak’ had encouraged local people to go into the industry saying it promised good earnings. At present, swiftlet ranching licensing is under the purview of the Forest Department but Wong believed that none of the farmers were licensed. He concurred that more people were jumping on the bandwagon to rear swiftlets and start a business selling bird’s nests.

In the central region alone, it is widely estimated that there are now more than 1,000 swiftlet farmhouses. The bulk of the houses are in Sarikei and Mukah Divisions, with Sibu accounting for more than 100.  Besides the risks of not getting the licence, Wong said the operators should also brace for the risk of not getting the birds to their farmhouses. This is a clear risk as many operators have lamented over their failure to attract the birds. An operator here is said to have invested about RM300,000 to build a two-storey swiftlet farmhouse at Salim Road.

Unfortunately, to date, after more than three months, the farmhouse is yet to attract a singlet swiftlet. “In all types of investment, there are risks involved. And the bird’s nest industry is just one type of investment that carries a substantial amount of risks,” Wong pointed out. He said swiftlet farmhouses that failed to attract the swiftlets after six months would normally be considered a failure.

“However, there are cases where the swiftlets will come after six months. So all hope is not lost,” he added.

Wong said the association is looking into the possibility of holding dialogues for potential swiftlet breeders to provide them with proper guidelines and techniques to attract the birds to their farmhouses.

Very Vast Opportunity in this Industry
