Food Industry, Commodity and Regional Development Minister Dr Stephen Rundi Utom gave the update at the Sarawak Legislative Assembly on Oct 20. The distinction matters for Sarawak’s supply outlook: Serian has existing output, whereas Selangau’s production and full completion remain future milestones.

The privately operated Ensengei development covers 202 hectares and carries an investment value of RM385 million. Its first phase was completed in 2025. The wider project plans a closed-house system and a modern abattoir, with capacity for 80,000 pigs by 2030. Selangau’s separate 233-hectare development targets full completion in 2028.

Rundi reported RM158.75 million in export earnings from 109,606 live pigs in 2026. He also described shipments of about 2,500 pigs a week from Pasir Puteh to Singapore and an additional 500 a week to Selangor since 2025. These export figures do not establish a retail price or guarantee cheaper pork for Kuching households. The useful supply indicators are actual farm output and whether the next production phases start on schedule.
