Agri-Food Cluster Transformation (ACT) Fund

Who can apply for funding?

The funding is only available to local farms as the ACT Fund is one of the ways SFA encourages our local farms to adopt technology and build up their capabilities.

To apply for funding, you must have a farm in Singapore with a valid farm licence issued by SFA.

For details on the eligibility requirements, see How to apply for funding.

What is supported by the ACT Fund?

The ACT Fund aims to transform our agri-food sector into one that is highly productive, climate-resilient and resource-efficient by supporting:

• Capability Upgrading
  For example, you can get funding to adopt pre-scoped farming solutions and equipment, or to engage consultancy and certification services (such as a technical consultancy)  to achieve recognised standards such as the Clean & Green (C&G) Standard and Singapore Good Agricultural / Aquaculture Practice (GAP/GAqP) certification.
  
  
• Technology Upscaling
  For example, you can get funding to set up large-scale, commercial, high-tech production systems, as well as pre- and post-harvest facilities that deliver high productivity and resource efficiency.

• Industry Partnership for Capability Transformation
  For example, you can get funding to facilitate strategic partnerships between farms and agri-tech stakeholders, to catalyse the development and deployment of industry-wide solutions that support multiple farms.

What is funded under “Capability Upgrading”?

You can apply for funding for the following under Capability Upgrading:

What is funded under “Technology Upscaling”?

You can apply for funding to invest in farming technology or systems as well as standalone pre- and post-harvest facilities to support commercial-scale production.

The funding supports the adoption of large commercial-scale, automated and advanced farming technology solutions, including systems integrated with agri-input production, post-harvest and waste treatment technologies. It also covers related infrastructure and building works required to install farming systems for new farm sites or to retrofit existing ready industrial spaces for farming.

For more details, see How to apply for funding.

What is funded under “Industry Partnership for Capability Transformation”?

You can apply for funding for:

• Joint projects between farms and agri-tech stakeholders to develop and deploy industry-wide solutions that address common challenges faced by multiple farms.
• Collaborative initiatives involving farms, private sector partners (e.g. technology providers, off-takers, logistics companies) or research institutes and institutes of higher learning to deliver shared platforms, tools or systems that raise sector-wide capabilities.
