Types of Farms in Singapore

Land-based farms can be indoor or outdoor, for aquaculture (e.g. shrimp and fish) or agriculture (e.g. vegetables and eggs). Land-based farms can also include urban farms, such as rooftop farms and vertical farms.

Most outdoor land-based farms are located in Lim Chu Kang and Sungei Tengah, while indoor farms are in industrial zones across Singapore.

Sea-based farms are mainly fish farms, with some farming of molluscs and crustaceans.

Sea-based farms may be in the open sea or along the coast. Coastal fish farms capitalise on Singapore's coastal areas, using nearshore waters for aquaculture.

Currently, all of our coastal net cage farms and closed-containment floating farms are located in the Johor Straits.
