Almost half of Singaporeans say they ‘sometimes’ experience food insecurity 

Singaporeans cite six reasons for their food insecurity.

Some (42.7%) Singaporeans say they “sometimes” experience food insecurity, data from the Southeast Asia Climate Outlook Report 2023 showed.

The majority, however, feel otherwise, saying they do not experience food insecurity at all.

Of those who experience food insecurity, most (50.4%) point to rising food prices as its main cause.

Some cite climate change (23.7%), poor government policy (15.9%), lack of agriculture investment (5.9%), and food export bans (11.1%) as factors causing their food insecurity.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
