- Local Firm’s Brunei Fish Farm to Help Boost Food Security
In a boost for Singapore’s food security, local company Apollo Aquaculture Group will be setting up a high-tech farm in Brunei in a joint venture.
Mr Eric Ng, 44, group chief executive officer of Apollo Aquaculture Group, said the vertical fish-farming system will be remotely controlled and monitored from Apollo Aqua- culture’s farm in Singapore.
With underwater sensors to measure parameters like temperature and salinity, the need for manpower is reduced and workers can respond to emergencies quickly, he said.
… Professor Paul Teng, adjunct senior fellow in food security in the Centre for Non-Traditional Security Studies at the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies, said any additional imported food source would increase Singapore’s resilience.
