Written Reply to Parliamentary Question on Improvements and Productivity Gains in Sea-based Fish Farms

7 April 2026

Written Reply to Parliamentary Question on improvement and productivity gains in sea-based fish farms by Ms Grace Fu, Minister for Sustainability and the Environment.

Questions:

Mr Cai Yinzhou: To ask the Minister for Sustainability and the Environment (a) with 24.5% sea-based fish farms exited and seafood production declining 14% whilst productivity rose from 38.6 to 40.7 tonnes per hectare in 2024, whether this productivity increase reflects genuine improvement or is driven by farm exits; (b) how many sea-based fish farms closed in 2025; and (c) what is the median productivity of the seafood sector per year from 2023 to 2025.

Answer:

The improvement in productivity of Singapore’s aquaculture sector reflects both farm exits and gains in farm productivity. 2025 data will be published later this year as part of the Singapore Food Statistics 2025.
