At AFTEA 2025 the government announced a pragmatic update to Singapore’s food-security roadmap: the original “30-by-30” ambition has been moved to 2035, with revised, category-specific targets and a renewed emphasis on applied agri-food innovation and scalable production models. That shifts the emphasis from speed to viability — and creates concrete opportunities for modular, prefabricated solutions that lower cost, shorten build time and deliver predictable harvests.
What changed
- The 2030 target has been extended to 2035; new numeric targets include producing around 20% of fibre (leafy and fruited veg, bean sprouts and mushrooms) and 30% of protein (eggs and seafood) domestically by 2035. Read The Straits Times.
- The Government is prioritising practical, partnership-ready interventions — applied R&D, multi-tenant feasibility, and investment into innovation that supports commercially viable production. Read Channel NewsAsia.
Why this matters for buyers, operators and developers
The timeline extension reduces calendar pressure but raises the bar on repeatability, cost predictability and operational reliability. That favours manufactured, modular systems — built, tested and shipped ready for fast assembly — over bespoke on-site fabrication that is vulnerable to weather, local labour variability and delays.
For local companies & consumers — what you get
Your priorities: fresher, reliable produce; lower operational headaches; meaningful staff and community engagement.
- Fresher food. On-site or near-site production reduces harvest-to-plate time for better taste and less waste.
- Predictable supply. Reliable harvest schedules let kitchens plan menus and sourcing with confidence.
- Lower hidden costs. Less spoilage, fewer emergency purchases and predictable maintenance through tiered subscriptions (Gold / Silver / Bronze).
- Wellness and engagement. Horticulture workshops and programs that improve staff morale and deliver CSR outcomes.
What we deliver locally: compact hydroponic and aquaponic modules for offices, housing estates, restaurants and institutions. End-to-end service: survey, bespoke design, install, commissioning, training and ongoing maintenance.
For overseas partners — prefab, ship, assemble like Lego
Your priorities: fast deployment, minimal on-site labour, predictable cost and fast time to first harvest.
- Modular prefabrication. Structural frames, planter arrays, water manifolds and control panels are assembled and tested before shipping.
- Container-optimised packaging. Detailed BOMs and labelled packing lists make customs and logistics straightforward.
- Lego-style assembly. Modules arrive labelled with step numbers and QR-linked install clips; plumbing and wiring are pre-routed and pre-terminated.
On-site advantages: shorter build windows, lower local labour needs and repeatable performance thanks to factory testing and standard SOPs. We also provide commissioning checklists, local training and remote IoT support for early tuning.
Technical snapshot (for planners & engineers)
- Module footprint & capacity: modular stacks that scale horizontally or vertically to suit warehouse floors, rooftops and brownfield sites. 3D CAD layouts available after survey.
- Pre-routed services: water manifolds, drains and wiring looms arrive preassembled — installers make mechanical and electrical connections only.
- IoT & controls: pre-commissioned sensors and controllers with cloud connectivity for remote monitoring, alerts and crop schedule updates.
- QC & test runs: major systems are bench-tested and factory-labelled to reduce on-site commissioning risk.
Latest Project — West Spring Primary School
We recently completed a compact hydroponics farm tucked within the school buildings at West Spring Primary School. The system supports hands-on STEM lessons and daily harvesting for the school canteen; teachers can demonstrate plant science in real time and students gain direct experience in growing and caring for food. |
Partner highlight — Abuzz Landscape: horticulture, wellness and greener spaces
V-Plus is part of Ardenia Green group that includes Abuzz Landscape, our sister company specialising in landscape design, horticulture and site activation. Thoughtful horticulture goes beyond food — well-designed green spaces improve wellbeing, reduce stress and create places people want to gather. Abuzz helps clients integrate edible gardens, therapeutic planting and green amenities that boost tenant satisfaction and create meaningful community touchpoints.
- Site design that complements farm systems: planting palettes, circulation and amenity spaces that work with modular farms.
- Wellness planting & biophilic design: horticultural layouts that support mental health, outdoor learning and passive cooling.
- Ongoing horticultural care: seasonal planting, pruning and maintenance to keep green spaces attractive and functional.
