SFA launches two farm plots for tender amidst lease framework overhaul

The tender closes at 12 p.m. on 28 July 2026.

The Singapore Food Agency (SFA) has launched a public tender for two agricultural land parcels in Lim Chu Kang and Sungei Tengah under its annual Singapore Agri-Space Sales (SAS) programme.

The sites, ST28I in Sungei Tengah and LCK 218 in Lim Chu Kang, are designated for vegetable farming and will be awarded on 20-year leases.

The agency said bids will be assessed based on production capacity, track record, farming experience, and the viability and innovation of the proposed farming plans, including compliance with good agricultural practices.

The tender closes at 12 p.m. on 28 July 2026.

Alongside the tender, SFA is updating its farm lease framework following a review that incorporated feedback from industry stakeholders on development timelines and operational flexibility.

Under the revised terms, the Project Completion Period will be extended from three to five years for successful bidders from SAS 2026 onwards, whilst the timeline to reach declared Potential Production Output (PPO) will be extended from five to eight years from the start of the lease.

From 1 September 2026, farms will also be allowed to apply to diversify into other approved food types to meet their production targets on a tonnage-equivalent basis and subject to approval.

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.
