SINGAPORE - As Singapore looks to develop a new sector of agri-technology, it will open an 18ha Agri-Food Innovation Park in Sungei Kadut, which will be ready in phases from the second quarter of 2021.
With Mr Desmond Choo asking what Singapore is doing to develop the food and agri-tech sector - worth $5 trillion globally - Dr Koh said the vision is for Singapore to be a leader in urban agriculture and aquaculture technology, with a food production model that can be exported to the region. The committee will work closely with industry players and associations such as the Singapore Agro-Food Enterprises Federation to take on board feedback, he added.
For example, some fire code requirements may not be applicable for farming activities and may constrain a farm's operations, he said, citing difficulties egg farm Chew's Agriculture faced when seeking approvals for its new farm at Neo Tiew Road. Agencies eventually exercised flexibility in applying the rules, in view of the low fire risk and site limitations for the farm.
Authorities have been helping companies prepare to transform their businesses, having awarded over 230 funded assessments and helping more than 150 manufacturing companies better prepare for Industry 4.0, he said.
