Indonesia is a new source to export chicken eggs to Singapore
The Singapore Food Agency (SFA) has approved egg import from Indonesia to mitigate egg demand in Singapore. According to the SFA, Indonesia is a new source to export chicken eggs to Singapore. SFA has accredited 18 countries to export eggs to Singapore including Indonesia. In December SFA approved egg import from Brunei. In 2019, 12 countries were exporting eggs to Singapore.
Recently many countries were affected by bird flu outbreaks, which impacted egg and poultry production. At that time Singapore government temporarily imposed a ban on the import of poultry products from five countries. Singapore’s egg supply accounts for about 70 per cent.
Singapore is developing its fourth egg farm, after getting fully operational, local egg farms will fulfil 50 per cent of Singapore’s egg demand.
