Data on Employment of Local Graduates of IHLs and Aquaculture CET Programmes in Sea-based Fish Farm Industry

31 Mr Cai Yinzhou asked the Minister for Sustainability and the Environment (a) whether the Ministry has data on the proportion of local workers in the sea-based fish farm section who are graduates of local Institutes of Higher Learning or Continuing Education and Training programmes relevant to aquaculture; and (b) what proportion of these graduates are currently employed by existing farms that have received funding under the Agri-Food Cluster Transformation Fund.

Ms Grace Fu Hai Yien: The Singapore Food Agency does not collect data on the number of graduates from local Institutes of Higher Learning or relevant Continuing Education Training Programmes who have joined sea-based fish farms or recipients of the Agri-Food Cluster Transformation Fund.
