Ten land parcels for food farming in Lim Chu Kang were put up for sale yesterday by the Singapore Food Agency with the majority of them - six - designated for bean-sprout farming.
The rest of the plots will be used for general agriculture (food) farming and vegetable farming.
The plots, which come with a 20-year lease, have land areas of between 6,208 sq m and 21,000 sq m.
Local farmers are not surprised that the majority of the plots are earmarked for bean-sprout farming, given that it is used in many local dishes. The humble bean sprout also grows fast and is nutritious, they added.
