Fish grown in Singapore are mostly kept as
aquarium fish,
[2] though some fish farms rear fish as food items.
[3] Qian Hu Corporation Limited is a major fishery in Singapore, farming, exporting, and importing some thousand fish species.
Singapore produces around 22,458 tonnes of vegetables while its population consumes 524,462 tonnes of them in 2016.
[5][6] Farming takes place mostly in the countryside region of Singapore, where the farms are located.
[2] About 113.9 hectares of land are allocated for vegetable farming as of 2014.
The agricultural production in Singapore is not enough to deliver to the needs of the country's people, and as such,
about 90 percent of the country's food comes from overseas imports, making food security an important issue.
[3] In march 2019, the government of Singapore the "30 by 30" goal which aims to becomes 30% self-sufficient in food production by the year 2030. It aims to do this through high-tech vegetable farms (i.e. multi-storey hydroponics farms), and through aquaculture farms. By using multi-storey hydroponics farms, land productivity can be increased and energy and water resource use can be maximised.
