Agriculture in Singapore - statistics & facts
Agriculture is not a major economic sector in Singapore , and less than one percent of its total land area is used for agricultural purposes. This results in Singapore importing most of the food it consumes, making it vulnerable to disruptions in global food supply chains. While the plan to ensure its food security – producing 30 percent of the food it consumes by 2030 - was already introduced in 2019, the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the importance of reaching this goal.
