Export Value for Agriculture and Agrifood Commodities Increases by 73 Percent

Bandar Seri Begawan: The total export value of the country’s agricultural and agrifood commodities as of November 2024 reached around 3.9-7 million dollars. The value increased by 73 percent compared to the same period in 2023. The country’s agricultural products are exported to China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, and Malaysia.

According to Radio Television Brunei, the total value of agricultural and agrifood commodity exports to the Republic of Singapore, as of November last year, reached around 1.8-4 million dollars. From the amount, exports for chicken eggs contributed to 1.7-6 million dollars.

The country has been consistently exporting chicken eggs to the Republic of Singapore since 2023. As of November last year, around 10.8 million chicken eggs were exported to the country compared to only 5.1 million chicken eggs in the previous year.

The country’s recent success in exporting processed beef products to the Republic of Singapore is another achievement in the development of the agricultural and agrifood sectors, especially for livestock-based agricultural products. Apart from livestock-based agricultural products, the country also exports crop products and processed products to Singapore, including melons, shrimp crackers, chili sauce, ready-to-cook products, bakery, and biscuits. Such achievement shows that local entrepreneurs are able to produce quality, safe, competitive products and are able to compete with international products. The Ministry of Primary Resources and Tourism, through the Department of Agriculture and Agrifood, will continue to work with relevant agencies in assisting and encouraging entrepreneurs to continue to progressively increase their respective products.
