In the case of poppy seeds, the COVID-19 pandemic had a mixed impact. Poppy seeds are a staple in many Malaysia dishes, but the closure of restaurants and foodservice establishments during lockdowns led to reduced demand from the hospitality sector. On the other hand, there was a slight increase in home cooking, which boosted retail sales of poppy seeds. Overall, the market witnessed some turbulence, with a shift in demand patterns.
