The location of the farms is tabulated in Table 22 and 46.82% of the farms are located in Perak. 13. SCENARIO IN 2013 The demand for domestic Cherry Valley and Pekin meat duck is forecasted to be good but the production of Muscovy ducks will remain low. It is also forecasted in 2013, the production of meat ducks will continue to decrease unless there is an increase in the exfarm price.
