Singapore sources food supply from Saudi and Poland: report

The country also imports oranges from Egypt and milk powder from Uruguay.

Singapore faced a daunting challenge when the coronavirus pandemic started to ground planes and upend global supply chains earlier this year—how to feed 5.7 million people in a country smaller than New York City and one that produces less than a 10th of the food it consumes.

The city state now imports oranges from Egypt, milk powder from Uruguay, eggs from Poland and shrimps from Saudi Arabia as part of efforts to broaden food supplies, the Ministry of Trade and Industry and the Singapore Food Agency said in a joint written response to questions. The import list now extends to more than 170 countries or regions.

“Over the years, Singapore has been diversifying our food sources, including commonly consumed food items like eggs, chicken and vegetables,” according to the statement. To ensure greater food security, “we are seeking new source countries and deepening engagement with existing suppliers.”

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
