More details: Agrotechnology Parks

The need to maximise output from Singapore's limited agricultural land led AVA to spearhead a move towards agrotechnology, which is the application of modern technology and life sciences to intensive farming systems. In 1986, AVA embarked on its Agrotechnology Programme which comprises 3 components:
The development of Agrotechnology parks in Singapore to house modern intensive farms
The development of agrotechnology and agri-biotechnology (the latter defined as the knowledge in agriculture and molecular
biology applied to large-scale, intensive farming)
The promotion of investments in the agri-industry
Agrotechnology Parks are modern agriculture estates developed with the necessary infrastructure for farming. There are six agrotechnology parks in Singapore. They are located at Lim Chu Kang, Murai, Sungei Tengah, Nee Soon, Mandai and Loyang.
These parks occupy a total land area of 1,465 ha and nearly 700 ha have been allocated to over 200 farms for the production of livestock, eggs, milk, aquarium and food fish, vegetables, fruits, orchids, ornamental and aquatic plants, as well as for the breeding of birds and dogs. The modern farms in the Agrotechnology Parks develop, adapt and showcase advanced technologies and techniques for intensive farming systems, and for export of high value and quality products and services to other tropical countries in the region
Singapore's geographical location and unique cultural experience makes us the ideal partner for entering the vast Asian market.
