January to May 2026 period, far ahead of any other food category under HS Chapters 01-24.<\/li>\n<li>Indonesia is the top food-supplying country at US$86.99 million, followed by Brazil at US$72.93 million and New Zealand at US$64.06 million, showing a supplier base split between regional neighbours and long-haul agricultural exporters.<\/li>\n<li>Padiberas Nasional Berhad, Malaysia's national rice body, leads the importer table, confirming that state-linked procurement drives a large share of the country's food inflows.<\/li>\n<li>In 2024, Malaysia's Food Security Index rose to 61.5 from 54.5 a year earlier, with the accessibility dimension at 79.9 supported by imports covering domestic shortfalls, on Department of Statistics Malaysia figures published in July

In January 2026, Malaysia's agricultural imports fell 12.8% year on year to RM7.30 billion (~US$1.63 billion), even as total imports grew 5.3% to RM125.50 billion (~US$27.97 billion), according to <a style=\"font-family:inherit;color:#0456cc;text-decoration:underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/storage.dosm.gov.my\/trade\/trade_2026-01_headline_en.pdf?utm_source=blog_article&amp;utm_campaign=seo_marketing_organic&amp;utm_content=malaysia-food-import-data\">Department of Statistics Malaysia data<\/a>.

Higher input costs lift production expenses across agribusiness supply chains, feeding through into import prices for wheat, dairy, and processed food that Malaysia cannot fully source domestically.<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 18px;\">The rankings show Malaysia's food import dependence at about 10%, lower than mid-teen levels in the Philippines and Bangladesh, yet any coincidence of weaker domestic harvests and elevated global prices passes directly into consumer food costs.<\/p>\n\n<h2 style=\"font-size:24px;font-weight:700;margin:28px 0 14px;color:#111;line-height:1.4;\">What food item does Malaysia import the most?
