Food supply chain in Singapore & worldwide

With the world population expected to grow to over 10 billion by the end of the century, stakeholders (Producers, Processors, Distributors, Consumers) all round the world are finding sustainable ways to meet the consumption demands of the human population in years to come. Some of the local food wholesalers and distributors such as Oregano Trading & SSKim had took noticed of this trend and are finding ways to achieve food sustainability through their work processes.

Adding to the woes of a sustained global food supply chain are climate changes, limited farming lands due to urbanisation, and lack of capital investments & innovations especially in under-developed & developing countries.

It remains to be seen if governments and regulators all round the world are able to achieve desirable outcomes for all stakeholders. Issues such as supply chain efficiency, market volatility (trade curbs), innovation to support growth, energy efficiency, waste management, addressing new consumption trends, demands of diverse food origins & food source sustainability are factors affecting all stakeholders.

Governments and regulators are constantly working with leading global producers to address the issues faced, and tackling from macro-level to micro-level food trends among the communities concurrently.
