Summary

Singaporean farmers are moving operations to the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ) in Malaysia due to high costs and limited land in Singapore. The JS-SEZ, launched in 2025, offers cheaper land, labor, and energy, attracting farmers like Vincent Wei, who is developing an 80.9ha agriculture hub. This move aims to reduce operational costs and enhance food security in the region.
