Poultry meat and offal market in Singapore

Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2020, the volume of Singapore's poultry meat and offal market showed variability, peaking at 295 thousand tons in 2020 after a slight dip the previous year. The market then contracted significantly to 251.3 thousand tons in 2021, with Singapore Food Agency's regulatory oversight defining import standards for various poultry types. In 2022, market volume stabilized at 248.3 thousand tons while value surged to $538.1 million, indicating substantial price increases, as the agency maintained stable food supply through multi-pronged security approaches.

By 2023, market volume declined further to 230.0 thousand tons. During this period, SFA's launch of sea space tenders for aquaculture diversified local protein sources, potentially affecting poultry demand. Concurrently, a shift in consumer preferences towards leaner, high-nutrition meats supported poultry as a healthier alternative. In 2024, regulatory changes included the approval of new import sources like Türkiye and Indonesia and a shift to targeted inspections, broadening supply diversity and altering import procedures.
