With almost three decades of experience in the bird’s nest business, Moh Kee first began with bird’s nest ranching, followed by trading, and eventually, upgrading to a processing centre.

This progression has placed Moh Kee Birdnest as the first one-stop processing plant of bird’s nests in Perak state. With this status, Moh Kee is the foremost company to have obtained approval and accreditation from the Certification & Accreditation Administration of the People’s Republic of China (CNCA) to export birdnest to China.
