Live pig exports to Pulau Buluan likely to be suspended for another year: SFA

The government halted its production and import of live pigs from Pulau Bulan in April 2022.

It will likely take about a year before Singapore can resume the production and export of live pigs from Pulau Buluan, Indonesia, the Singapore Food Agency (SFA) said.

In a Facebook post, the SFA said it is still "assessing the situation" in Pulau Buluan.

In April 2022, Singapore halted the import of live pigs from Pulau Bulan, Indonesia, due to the detection of African Swine Fever (ASF) in pig carcasses from a consignment of pigs.

Meanwhile, SFA said it would continue to work with Singapore's livestock industry to diversify its import sources and strengthen its food resilience.

The agency also encouraged the food industry "to remain resilient by diversifying their supply sources and adopting Business Continuity Plans" and consumers to choose alternatives such as frozen and chilled pork or other protein options.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
