新加坡：新加坡食品局（SFA）在泰国因洪水损失要求企业将鸡蛋出口削减30%至50%直到12月后，已联系泰国当局并与本地进口商接洽。
SINGAPORE: The Singapore Food Agency (SFA) has contacted Thai authorities and engaged local importers after Thailand asked firms to cut egg exports by 30 per cent to 50 per cent until December following flood-related losses.
新加坡食品局周二（10月6日）在回应《亚洲新闻台》询问时表示，正在密切关注事态发展。该机构表示，新加坡鸡蛋供应中来自泰国的比例不足15%。
SFA said in a response to CNA queries on Tuesday (Oct 6) that it was monitoring developments. ess than 15 per cent of Singapore’s egg supply comes from Thailand, the agency said.
新加坡食品局形容新加坡的鸡蛋供应“多元化良好”，进口来源超过10个国家，包括马来西亚、印度尼西亚和乌克兰。
SFA described Singapore’s egg supply as "well-diversified", with imports from more than 10 countries, including Malaysia, Indonesia and Ukraine.
该局表示：“如有必要，业界能够从其他来源获取鸡蛋供应”，并补充说本地鸡蛋生产在供应中断时也提供额外来源。盛松超市发言人周三表示，该超市不从泰国进口鸡蛋。
"The industry is able to obtain its supply of eggs from other sources if necessary," it said, adding that local egg production also provides an additional source of supply during disruptions. A Sheng Siong spokesperson said on Wednesday that the supermarket does not import eggs from Thailand.
发言人补充道：“目前我们的鸡蛋供应和价格保持稳定，我们正与供应商密切监控事态发展。”
"Our egg supply and prices remain stable for now and we are monitoring the situation closely with our suppliers," the spokesperson added.
泰国计划削减鸡蛋出口，此前几周全国发生严重洪水，导致约300万只母鸡死亡，扰乱了鸡蛋供应。
Thailand's planned egg export cuts followed heavy flooding across the nation in recent weeks that killed about 3 million hens and disrupted egg supplies.
根据泰国农业部数据，泰国去年出口鸡蛋价值17亿泰铢（约5046万美元），其中新加坡占总额的79%。
Thailand exported 1.7 billion baht (US$50.46 million) worth of eggs last year, with Singapore accounting for 79 per cent of the total, according to Thai agriculture ministry data.
新加坡食品局表示：“全球粮食供应将继续面临不确定性，粮食供应中断可能不时发生。”
"Global food supplies will continue to face uncertainties and food supply disruptions may occur from time to time," said SFA.
该局补充道：“虽然政府将尽力减轻影响，但我们无法完全消除对粮食供应的干扰。”
"While the government will do what we can to minimise the impact, we will not be able to completely mitigate disruptions to our food supply," it added.
新加坡食品局鼓励本地食品业多元化供应来源，并呼吁消费者在供应中断时保持饮食选择的灵活性。
SFA encouraged the local food industry to diversify its sources and consumers to remain flexible in their food choices in the event of disruptions.
《亚洲新闻台》已询问NTUC FairPrice、盛松、Cold Storage和Giant其来自泰国的鸡蛋供应是否受影响，以及是否正在寻找替代来源。
CNA has asked NTUC FairPrice, Sheng Siong, Cold Storage and Giant whether their egg supplies from Thailand have been affected and whether they are seeking alternative sources.
