Singapore is exploring the possibility of sourcing chicken from Indonesia after it faced disruption of supply from Malaysia due to an export ban.
The Singapore Food Agency (SFA) is working closely with the Indonesian authorities “to explore the accreditation of Indonesia as a potential source of chicken import”, the agency said in a statement yesterday.
“As part of the accreditation process, SFA conducts documentary evaluations and on-site inspections to ensure that overseas establishments and farms are able to meet Singapore’s import requirements and food safety regulations before they can start exporting to Singapore,” it said in response to The Straits Times’ query.
Indonesia has never sold chickens to Singapore, and has so far exported only salted eggs, totalling around 50,000 each month to its close neighbour.
Indonesia, which is South-east Asia’s largest economy, supplies day-old chicks to some neighbouring countries such as Vietnam and Myanmar, and also exports frozen chicken and processed chicken produce, such as nuggets and sausages, to several other countries including Japan and Timor-Leste.
