Hi Normita Atanis the farming activities in Singapore are mostly supervised and overseen by The Primary Production Department, under the Ministry of National Development (AVA) that ensured an adequate and regular supply of fresh produce and provided support for agro-industries, including research and development aimed at improving commercial and high technology farming. The department projected in 1988 that a total of 2,000 hectares of land in ten agro-technology parks would be developed and rented out for long-term farming over the next decade. The government began phasing out pig farming in 1984 because of odor and environmental pollution. Some 200 pig farms raising about 500,000 pigs in 1987 were scheduled to be reduced to 22 farms with 300,000 pigs by 1990. Imports from Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand would be increased to meet domestic needs. Some 1,000 poultry farms kept a total of about 2.2 million layers, 1.6 million broilers, 245,000 breeders, and 645,000 duck, so that Singapore remained free of major animal diseases. You will be surprised that a small island with less than 5 million people the consumption of pork is very high. There is a joint venture activities between a Malaysian and Singaporean company which produce about 500,000 pigs annually with an annual turnover of about RM400 million for local consumption and export.With a capacity for 250,000 standing pig population, it is an integrated modern pig farming area with very strict bio-security and disease control measures, modern bio-gas central waste treatment system, imported parent stocks with high productivity, export standard abattoir and meat processing facilities and the important factor is close proximity to Singapore
According to Channel NewsAsia, there is a plan in the pipeline in China to have the pig farm and pork-processing facilities within a food zone. Singapore's National Development Minister Mah Bow Tan says Singapore will invest in the project and provide its expertise in food safety in the joint partnership with the Jilin government. The long-term objective is to provide supply of food, not just for local consumption, and also export to Singapore, which is in line with the overall objective of ensuring food security in Singapore.
Currently Philippine had also exports fresh frozen meat to from General Santos and there is one farm in Davao already qualified and cleared by Singapore government to export Pork products to Singapore. As for forzen pork the Filipino love to eat it their pork fresh like "Kilawin" ang Asrap nito ah.
