Singapore has turned to Indonesia for live chicken imports as Malaysia has banned chicken exports. A farm on Bintan has become a new source of live chickens for Singapore, as part of the country's efforts to diversify food import sources.
One of the latest deals fourth-generation farmer Kenny Toh has made is with a farm on Bintan , for the supply of live chickens. It is a milestone — and part of the Singapore Food Agency’s efforts to diversify food import sources.
