Construction yet to begin on Singapore's 4th egg farm, which was scheduled to start operations in 2024
The amount of funds needed to complete the farm has now risen beyond S$110 million, from the initial projected cost of more than S$100 million.
SINGAPORE: Construction for Singapore’s fourth egg farm has yet to begin despite initial plans for one of its facilities to be operational by this year.
The update was given to shareholders who sought clarifications on why the project was delayed during an annual general meeting held by engineering and service solutions provider Ellipsiz in October.
Singapore-listed Ellipsiz is a shareholder of ISE Foods Holdings (IFH), the local company that was formed to set up and operate the farm. IFH is collaborating with ISE Japan, a top egg producer in Japan, for the project.
Plans for the egg farm were announced as early as 2021, when IFH signed an agreement with the Singapore Food Agency (SFA) to kickstart the development of the S$100 million (US$74.3 million) project.
The farm will comprise four main facilities: A commercial egg farm and a day-old-chick hatchery in Lim Chu Kang, a parent layer farm in Sungei Tengah, and a parent pullet farm in Tuas.
