Singapore Diversifies Food Supplies with Saudi Shrimps and Polish Eggs
Singapore faced a daunting challenge when the coronavirus pandemic started to ground planes and upend global supply chains earlier this year. The city state now food supplies from more than 170 countries or regions. It is also ramping up domestic production, seeking to boost output of its nutritional needs to 30 per cent by 2030. The “proactive” stance Singapore has taken to import food from as many countries as possible to secure its food supply is a sound strategy, according to Professor Paul Teng, an Adjunct Senior Fellow at the Centre for Non-Traditional Security Studies at RSIS.
