He noted that there are increasing opportunities to grow the sustainable food production model for both Singapore and the region. Indeed, even amid the pandemic, the Republic has seen growing interest from global companies. These include &ever, a German indoor vertical farming company which will set up its first-in-Asia farm in Singapore that is set to produce 500 tonnes of vegetables a year.
Meanwhile, Buhler - the world's largest company specialising in processing facility and equipment - and flavours and fragrances company Givaudan are jointly setting up a plant-based food innovation centre. The centre will work with Singapore's food processing companies, startups and researchers to provide expertise in developing plant-based food products.
Perfect Day uses precision fermentation biotechnology techniques to develop and produce animal-free dairy proteins, casein and whey. These animal-free protein products are then used to make items such as ice cream, cheese and yoghurt. He added that the opening of the Agri-Food Innovation Park in Q2 of 2021 will further catalyse innovation in the ecosystem, and that bringing together high-tech farming and associated R&D activities to discover synergies across value chains will result in a better base to attract companies, R&D talent and investment to the Republic.
