Local farms in Singapore will receive a one-off grant to help cope with rising operating costs and maintain production amid ongoing global uncertainties, the Singapore Food Agency (SFA) announced on Friday, July 31, 2026.

This grant is in addition to a one-off cash grant for small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) announced by the Ministry of Finance earlier that week, for which farms are also eligible. The new Farm Business Resilience Support grant amount will vary depending on the type and volume of farm produce. On average, farms can expect to receive between S$4,000 (US$3,117) and S$8,000.

The support quantum was determined based on an assessment of cost pressures facing the local agri-food sector and aims to help farms strengthen their business and operational resilience, the SFA told CNA.

Eligible farms include those producing leafy vegetables, fruited vegetables, mushrooms, bean sprouts, hen-shell eggs, and seafood. The SFA emphasized the importance of local farms as a key component of Singapore's food security, providing locally produced protein and fibre.

"It is important that these short-term pressures do not erode the local production capacity that Singapore has worked hard to build," said the SFA.

According to a report released in May 2026, Singapore's local agri-food sector contributed about 8 percent of local fibre consumption and 25 percent of local protein consumption in 2025.

The SFA said it will contact eligible farms in August with more information.

The government remains committed to supporting local farms as part of its broader food security strategy and will continue working with the sector to strengthen resilience, manage business pressures, and sustain local production.
