Bloomberg News: Fishermen Are Being Pushed to the Brink by Fuel Costs in Southeast Asia

Bloomberg  ....The effect goes along the supply chain, says Daniel Tay, owner of Straits Seafood Co. and President of the Fish Farmers Association of Singapore. Feed mills put their prices up because their packaging and transport costs have risen and there are also energy costs associated with keeping feed in air-conditioning. A bag of feed that once cost S$50 ($39) now costs at least S$60, he said. Raising one kilogram of fish takes about a year and requires roughly 1.8 kilograms of feed. “If we need to grow 10 tons, which is 10,000 kilograms, multiply that number and it’ll just go crazy,” Tay said. “That’s the scale of the problem.”

.....For Tay at Straits Seafood in Singapore, the bigger fear now is outright demand destruction.“Families that used to eat out every Sunday, now they'll say, ‘No, let's eat out less often’,” he said. “Once households cut back, restaurants close. That'll be the beginning of us reducing our production.”

Our methods of sourcing food are changing. But in a place like Singapore where food is identity and pride, the culture around it remains deeply rooted. Food security has become not just a logistical concern, but a national priority. How do we ensure that affordable access to food goes hand in hand with preserving the culinary heritage we are proud of?

Heart to Heart with farmers


 《联合早报》摄制队日前出海探访了传统海上渔场“兴兴渔场”,并就渔场经营所面临的挑战,采访了主要负责人杨昇彊(37岁)。他透露,许多海上渔场业者选择退出市场,主要原因在于业者年迈,且后继乏人。

杨昇彊说:“五年前从父亲手中接过渔场时,首要任务是逐步建立一套标准操作程序,以缓解父亲和团队的工作压力,同时提升渔场的整体生产效率,并为渔场业务注入可持续发展动力。
