First HDB container fish farm, size of bedroom in HDB flat, launched in Tampines

SINGAPORE - The Republic s first urban fish farm in a container was launched on Nov 19 as part of an initiative to support local urban farmers and help the country to reach its 30 by 30 food goal of producing 30 per cent of its food needs domestically by 2030. The container fish farm is located in Tampines Street 11 next to the Tampines Round Market and Food Centre, and residents can look forward to enjoying the popular jade perch, a fish delicacy, after the first harvest in four to six months.  Inside the shipping container set up close to Tampines Town Council are tanks housing jade perch that will be market-ready when they grow to about 500 to 600g. The Tampines Round Market and Food Centre Merchants Association will be collaborating with local fishmongers to sell the jade perch, which can fetch up to $38 per kg. Fish will be sold to fishmongers at cost price for this community project.
