Local production of vegetables and seafood falls in 2024
The proportion of locally produced food that is consumed by Singaporeans has fallen, except for eggs. While local farms boosted their yields slightly, there is still work ahead for Singapore to produce 30 per cent of its nutritional needs locally by 2030. Professor William Chen, Director of the Singapore Agri-Food Innovation Lab and Director of the Food Science and Technology Programme at NTU, discusses the latest food statistics. He talks about Singapore's "30 by 30" goals, what the statistics indicate about the progress towards it and if there is a need to reassess the target.
