Food manufacturing SME proposes integrated dairy hub

Singapore

HOMEGROWN food manufacturer SMC Food 21 has proposed that a one-stop hub for the dairy industry be set up here, to give Singapore companies a boost in tapping the region's growing demand for products like infant milk powders, cheese, yogurt, chocolate and ice cream.

The proposed facility could offer food-manufacturing companies a suite of shared services such as research and development labs, yogurt and cheese processing, as well as warehousing, said SMC Food 21 general manager Mike Lim at a media briefing on Thursday.
