Committee of Supply 2026 debate, Day 4: Ng Shi Xuan on ensuring Singapore's food security
In parliament on Tuesday (Mar 3), MP Ng Shi Xuan spoke on three of the four pillars of the Singapore Food Story 2 - diversifying imports, global partnerships and growing local. He sought clarification on how diversifying imports and global partnerships differ in practice, and raised two questions on the latter. He also noted that food resilience is not only about having enough food in terms of quantity; it is also about nutritional stability, particularly the reliability of Singapore’s protein supply.
