Singapore Food Statistics 2025

The Singapore Food Agency (SFA) has released the Singapore Food Statistics 2025, an annual report covering food supply and safety data from 2023 to 2025. The publication highlights progress under the refreshed Singapore Food Story 2 strategy, launched in November 2025, which focuses on four pillars: Diversify Imports, Global Partnerships, Stockpile and Grow Local.

Diversifying imports remains critical as Singapore imports over 90 per cent of its food. In 2025, supply sources expanded to more than 180 countries and regions, up from about 140 two decades ago. To ensure safety, SFA requires accreditation at source for higher-risk items like livestock, meat, eggs, poultry, pork, and beef. New approved sources in 2025 included shell eggs from Lithuania; processed eggs from Brazil, Lithuania and Paraguay; poultry from Greece, Lithuania and Paraguay; pork from Greece and Paraguay; and beef from Greece, Paraguay and Republic of Korea.

Local production aims to supply 20 per cent of fibre and 30 per cent of protein consumed locally by 2035. As of 2025, local farms contributed about eight per cent of local fibre (fresh leafy and fruited vegetables, beansprouts, mushrooms) and 25 per cent of local protein (eggs and seafood). From 2024 to 2025, vegetable farm productivity rose by about 10 per cent (from 231.4 to 253.3 tonnes per hectare), while seafood farm productivity increased by about 27 per cent (from 40.7 to 51.5 tonnes per hectare). Egg production and productivity declined slightly due to temporary operational challenges at some farms, which are localised and not systemic.

SFA supports farm growth through initiatives like the Agri-food Cluster Transformation Fund 2, National Broodstock Centre and Hatchery Development and Recognition Programme, and supply-demand aggregation via the Singapore Agro-Food Enterprises Federation.

Food safety remains a cornerstone. SFA uses a science-based risk management framework with data-driven inspections, testing, surveillance and horizon scanning. Major foodborne illness outbreak cases (affecting 15 or more persons) dropped from 22.8 to 16.8 per 100,000 population from 2024 to 2025. There were fewer confirmed foodborne illness cases in catering-related incidents compared with 2024. SFA stepped up targeted checks on establishments supplying catered food and engaged industry associations to share outbreak insights and remind operators on good practices.

Building a resilient, safe food supply is a joint responsibility for the Government, industry and consumers. The full Singapore Food Statistics 2025 publication is available at www.sfa.gov.sg/publications/sgfs.
