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.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
