I only buy Singapore products unless no choice 👍

Grow locally how come more expensive? If more expensive to grow locally then why bother growing locally? Doesn't make sense.

[Ola]

PAP give away our job to Past & Current FTs (who are present PRs)

They should tell them to support homegrown veges, seafood and brand

管我屁事 ! 

[sgh]

It is about price. MIW already say better and cheaper. So must learn from them.

Indoor farming of cos more expensive. Spore wants to do it for self-sufficiency.

[Symmetry]

The Malaysian produce are good enough. No need to pay more for local brand. It's like paying for PaP Ministers who are mediocre.

[sgh]

Spore source from many places not going to be hold random by Msia nowadays. I know my broccoli and cabbage from China. Aussie vegetable also have but darn expensive.

The sg farmers should go after the organic market segment. Those folks will pay the higher price.

in other countries, the locals will support local grown product even if it is more expensive because their locals will always come first in govt policy.

in singapore, locals do not come first in govt policy, thus local grown products will not come first for locals.

since the govt policy tends to support the cheapest and better manpower, locals will also support the cheapest and better products

since the govt always needs cheap foreign manpower, similarly local people should also need cheap foreign grown products !

But strangely why the Parliament miw are not cheap leh?

when it is more expensive to grow local products, the govt asks the local people to support local grown products.

when it is more expensive to employ local people, why the govt never ask local employers to support local people ?

the govt want people to support expensive local products but does not want employers to support expensive local manpower ?

how can the same logic be used for local products but not for local people ?

this article is a total rubbish !

[ArielCasper]

See u all talk so much, who actually did your grocery shopping yourself and buy veg.

Did you ever compare the quality between sg veg and boleh land veg?

Absolute pricing is one thing.

in singapore, there is no such silly thing like supporting expensive local product because there is no such silly thing like supporting expensive local manpower.

fresh good quality and price is primary considerations.

really veg is very cheap. problem is cannot keep. for leafy veg.

can repackaged smaller portions with a few variety. as family size become 1-2 and ageing

[FangFang]

Local also need to think of competition not profits if need to support locals.

[forum456]

Local also need to think of competition not profits if need to support locals.

for many years until now, employers prefer to employ cheap CECA.
90% staff in Changi Business Park are CECA.

since employers and the govt prefer cheap foreign manpower, why can't locals prefer cheap foreign products ?

there is absolute no case for locals to support expensive local products since employers and govt do not support expensive local manpower.

try these,

go japan
and tell a japanese your home grown veg fruit egg suckz to the max

go s.korea
and tell a korean your home grown veg fruit egg suckz to the max

easier one

go malaysia
and tell a malaysian your home grown veg fruit egg suckz to the max

see whether will you remain in one piece

BUT

if any FOREIGNER were to come to me and say the above
I will be more than happy to agree

As I say does good quality vege consume come out your sai very smooth? If same why pay extra? E.g broccoli China I eat and Aussie I eat both come out sai very smooth so why pay a premium for Aussie version?

[watchfirst9]

sure but not sure about seafood...
