SINGAPORE – There is a new offering at fish stalls in a market in Tampines that is harvested in the vicinity and is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, but costs less than salmon.
On June 15, MPs for Tampines GRC, Mr Baey Yam Keng and Mr Desmond Choo, witnessed the harvesting of the fish from the container farm. Launched in November 2023, it is Singapore’s first container fish farm located in an HDB estate. He said having the farm right at the market’s doorstep reduces the middlemen and logistics cost, which will translate into lower prices for customers.
Acknowledging that Singaporeans are not familiar with jade perch, Mr Lee said his firm wants to introduce Singaporeans to this Australian breed.Home-grown greens sold for as low as $1.78 per pack at FairPrice in pilot to help local farms
