Brunei and Singapore explore regional hub for sustainable agri-tech

BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN (MNTV) — Brunei and Singapore will jointly study the creation of a Brunei–Singapore Agri-Tech Food Zone (ATFZ), an initiative aimed at boosting food security and positioning both countries as regional leaders in advanced agri-food production, The Star reported.
The feasibility study will be led by Brunei’s Ministry of Finance and Economy, together with Singapore’s Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment and the Singapore Food Agency.
According to Brunei’s ministry, the proposed ATFZ will attract high-value agri-food investments, create skilled jobs, and build local expertise. It also aims to strengthen both nations’ food supply resilience and promote innovation in agri-technology.
The initiative seeks to combine Brunei’s land availability and economic diversification plans with Singapore’s strengths in agri-tech, regulatory frameworks, and global market access.
If established, the ATFZ would support a competitive agri-food ecosystem capable of producing, processing, and exporting high-quality food products to regional and international markets.
