Committee of Supply 2025 debate, Day 3: Rachel Ong on barriers facing SMEs, start-ups in sustainable food sector
In parliament on Tuesday (Mar 4), MP Rachel Ong asked if the government could refine grants in the sustainable food sector to better support local SMEs and start-ups - for example, by removing the requirement for public sector partnerships. Existing barriers make it hard for private enterprises to access funding, especially at the critical stage of commercialisation, she said.
