Our locally grown produce currently accounts for less than 10% of the food we eat. To mitigate the threats of climate change and future pandemics, we are supporting our farmers to ramp up the production of local produce - ensuring food is on our tables for generations to come.
You can play your part to support locally farmed produce. The next time you're shopping for groceries online or at the supermarkets, look out for the SG Fresh Produce badges on the packaging or displayed next to fish, eggs, leafy vegetables, mushrooms, beansprouts and more.
