His Excellency Allaster Cox
Australian High Commissioner to Singapore
The Australian High Commission in Singapore is pleased to continue its work with the Singapore Fruits & Vegetables Association (SFVIEA) to bring fresh, healthy, quality produce to the plates of Singaporeans.
As Australia and Singapore approach 60 years of our bilateral relationship in 2025, trade remains a key pillar in our relationship. Since the pandemic, a time of global supply chain disruptions, Singapore and Australia’s work together in food trade and supply chains has only grown.
As trusted partners, in 2022 Singapore and Australia established the bilateral Supply Chains Working Group, which works to strengthen trade and supply chains across food, connectivity and energy, and was held for the fourth time in late 2024.
Australia is committed to supplying Singaporeans with quality, clean and green produce to support Singapore’s health and food security. In 2023 Australia was proud to supply Singapore with over AUD140 million worth of fruit and vegetables and we hope,
through our strong bilateral relationship and work with the SFVIEA, our trade in fresh food will continue to flourish.
I welcome SFVIEA’s continued work to build up Singapore’s local innovative fruit and vegetable industry and hope the SFVIEA 57th Members Directory will be a useful reference for all.
I look forward to working closely with members to develop the industry into the future.
