Singapore to develop 18ha agri-tech innovation park

It should be ready from Q2 2021, trade and industry minister Koh Poh Koon said.

Singapore will build a new 18ha Agri-Food Innovation Park in Sungei Kadut that will contain indoor plant factories, insect farms, and animal feed production facilities, trade and industry senior minister Koh Poh Koon said.

According to his speech at the Committee of Supply debate, the ministry is working with both local and overseas industry players to develop this first phase of the park, which will be ready from the Q2 2021, with potential for future expansion depending on demand.

Koh brought this up in response to parliament member Desmond Choo’s inquiry on the development of the food and agri-tech sector which is worth $5t globally.

“Our vision is for Singapore to be a leading urban agriculture and aquaculture technology hub with a food production model that can be exported to the region,” the minister said.

Koh is also leading a multi-agency team that looks at how it can support the agri-tech industry in the areas of industry and enterprise development, R&D, manpower, and regulations.

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.
