Brunei Darussalam and Singapore have announced a joint Pre-Tender Qualification Notice for consultancy services to conduct a feasibility study on establishing a Brunei-Singapore Agri-Tech Food Zone (ATFZ) in Brunei. This collaboration reflects both nations’ commitment to strengthening strategic cooperation in food security and supply chain resilience.
The feasibility study will explore the potential for an ATFZ, which aims to leverage agri-tech innovations to bolster food production capabilities. Interested parties can access further details through the Brunei Economic Development Board’s social media or Singapore’s Government Electronic Business System (GeBIZ).
This initiative underscores the shared goal of both governments to ensure a stable and resilient food supply chain amidst global challenges. The collaboration is part of broader efforts to enhance regional food security through technological advancements and strategic partnerships.
The Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment in Singapore, alongside its statutory boards, including the Singapore Food Agency (SFA), is actively involved in this project. The SFA’s mission is to secure a safe food supply through a multi-pronged approach, including diversifying imports and fostering global partnerships.
The outcome of the feasibility study could pave the way for future developments in agri-tech collaboration between Brunei and Singapore, potentially setting a precedent for similar initiatives in the region.
