KUALA LUMPUR, May 10 (Bernama) -- NX Global Engineering Pte Ltd (NX Global Engineering), a group company of Nippon Express Holdings Inc, participated in a plantation tour and a microgreen cultivation workshop organised by Edible Garden City, a plantation operator in Singapore.
According to a statement, the members who took part in this recent training tour commented that the programme had boosted their awareness of the importance of food production in Singapore and given them an opportunity to think about their own roles in achieving sustainable societies.
Singapore relies on imports for more than 90 per cent of its food, and low food self-sufficiency is a social problem. To address this issue, Singapore is pursuing a "30 by 30" initiative aimed at raising its food self-sufficiency rate to 30 per cent by 2030.
Agriculture utilising food technology such as cell-cultured meat and other technologies has garnered attention in this initiative as the country’s next growth industry, and Singapore has been working in earnest to foster this industry.
Established in 2016 in Singapore, NX Global Engineering handles heavy haulage and maintenance for a variety of plants and factories.
The NX Group will continue actively communicating with local communities and engaging in community-based social activities with the aim of realising sustainable societies.
As a partner that goes beyond simply transporting goods, the group is committed to creating sustainable and environmentally-conscious supply chains, striving to co-create its customers' future by providing innovative solutions.
