Local farms have been grappling with higher electricity, transport and fertiliser costs due to the Iran-US conflict and resulting energy crisis.
On July 2, FairPrice held a meeting with affected farmers and suppliers to address questions and explain its decisions, ST understands.
Following the meeting, Artisan Green’s founder, Ray Poh, is hoping that he can negotiate with FairPrice to continue selling some of its products. The farm has three products on shelves that could be delisted: baby spinach, lettuce medley and Kallang raw kale and spinach mix, which cost $5.40 to $6.90 a pack.
Goh said the latest development might point to a market demand issue, where local farms not only have to compete with cheaper imports from Malaysia and China but also among themselves.
