Why Support Local Produce
The Singapore Food Story encompasses our food security strategies to ensure and secure a supply of safe food for the nation. A key component of this story involves SFA’s aims to raise awareness on food security issues and rally support for local produce.
While SFA works with the industry to ramp up local production, demand from consumers is equally important to sustain a healthy and vibrant agri-food ecosystem.
By supporting local produce, we boost Singapore’s food security and economy. Consumers can also make environmentally sustainable food choices and learn more about local produce. Local produce is safe, fresher, and lasts longer. Local produce contributes to reduced spoilage, food waste, and carbon footprint, as the produce does not need to travel long distances or for long periods of time before reaching the consumer.
The SG Fresh Produce Logo
Consumers can easily identify local produce by spotting the SG Fresh Produce (SGFP) logo on packaging and selected marketing collaterals.
