In Malaysia, there is a lot of room for organic chicken meat because people are becoming more interested in eating healthy. The halal and organic food industries have now spread far beyond the food industry, and it can be seen in the global food market. During a pandemic, food production, safety, and farmers' and households' finances are all affected. This is causing a liquidity crunch and a debt load. It is not just farmers and workers who do not want to move. People are afraid of COVID19, which makes them stay at home. Because of this, the normal production capacity of chicken food processing factories has been reduced. This is because the environment has become more important, and people are thinking more about organic chicken food. People who are COVID-19, normal, and pregnant are more concerned about food safety. In addition, food security means that everyone has access to enough safe and healthy food that meets their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life. So, during COVID-19 in Malaysia, demand for halal and organic chicken meat is growing faster than production, so the government needs to get it from outside the country to meet the needs of local people. So, the main goal of this project is to build a framework to show how different diet systems affect the growth performance (body weight) and profitability of organically farmed chicken farmers in Malaysia, so that they can make more money. In the study and financial benefit-cost analysis of farmers' profitability based on the different diet systems they use in at least one production cycle, there are FOUR (4) different diet systems that are taken into account. It will also give unbiased and comparable results from testing the different diet systems in a way that is very relevant to the commercial market, so this project will be very useful.
