SS 670:2021 Specification for Good Aquaculture Practice

As Singapore is highly dependent on export, our food supply is vulnerable to the volatilities of the global food market. Aside to sudden disruptions of supply sources or transport routes, Singapore’s food supply is also susceptible to the change in food production.

With this, the Singapore’s Government has set a target of producing at least 30% of Singapore’s nutritional needs by 2030 to ensure food security.  

With this directive, the Food Standards Committee (FSC) under the purview of the Singapore Standards Council has set up a Technical Committee on Agritech and Agrifood Production to develop the following standards which enable organizations to keep up with new emerging farming technologies and promote responsible farming:  

1. SS 675:2021 Specification for Good Agriculture Practice

2. SS 670:2021 Specification for Good Aquaculture Practice  

• SS 670:2021 Specification for Good Aquaculture Practice caters to various aquaculture systems in Singapore, ranging from open-cage farming and pond farming to closed containment farming systems for fish, crustaceans, and molluscs.
