Developing a toolbox of high-tech farming solutions in Singapore will equip it with the capabilities to scale up local production when the need arises, even if such strategies are not deployed immediately, Trade and Industry Minister Chan Chun Sing said yesterday. Once we have built these capabilities, when the conditions necessitate it, we can scale up to capacity, he told reporters during a visit to the Sky Greens vertical vegetable farm in Lim Chu Kang.
For instance, if demand for locally produced food goes up because of natural causes, or because of export restrictions that disrupt supply chains, Singapore will have the technological know-how to increase production, Mr Chan said.
