Written Reply to Parliamentary Question on Local Fish Production by Ms Grace Fu, Minister for Sustainability and the Environment

Question:

To ask the Minister for Sustainability and the Environment (a) what is SFA’s definition of "local fish produce" including the minimum qualifying Singapore grow-out period; (b) what percentage of fish produce labelled "local" originates from fish stock imported at near-market size; and (c) what steps are taken to prevent importers from exploiting this loophole and to ensure that 30-by-30 statistics reflect genuine local production.


Answer:

1 Local fish produce refers to fish that are grown or produced from fry or fingerlings by local farms licensed by the Singapore Food Agency (SFA). SFA does not prescribe or track minimum grow-out periods, but we conduct periodic checks on farms to monitor local production data declared by farms.
