Impact of Japan quake on Singapore's food supply expected to be minimal

In 2010, seafood imported from Japan constitutes less than 2% of Singapore's total seafood imports by quantity.

According to the Singapore government's statement on the Fukushima nuclear incident, the import of other food products from Japan is negligible (less than 0.5%).

The Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority of Singapore is working closely with its counterparts in Japan and continues to keep a close watch on food imports from Japan. The AVA has increased its surveillance of food imports from Japan to ensure that they are safe for consumption.

Food products from Japan that were exported before 11 Mar 2011 are safe for consumption as they would not have been exposed to any radioactive contamination. These include products that are currently in the market and those which had arrived in Singapore over the last few days.

As a precautionary measure, samples of fresh produce exported from Japan after 11 Mar 2011, such as seafood, fruits, vegetables and meat, are being tested for radioactive contaminants.

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.
