Supermarket customers can buy live locally produced shrimp and fish at selected outlets
In a first, supermarket customers can now get their hands on live locally grown shrimp and fish at selected outlets. Swimming in tanks, the seafood is not only fresher, but also clock a smaller carbon footprint than imported ones. For the shrimp, local farm aggregator called SAFEF is working with three land-based farms to supply these. This is part of national efforts to locally produce 30 per cent of Singapore's nutritional needs by 2030. Rachel Teng reports.Â
