Confederation of Australian Pork Exporters (CAPE) realizes the need to capitalize the situation and Singapore’s high demand of pork and Australian Pork Limited (APL) invested S$4.26 million to study the Singaporean market, and develop and implement a strategy to ensure that it remained a major pork supplier to Singapore in the long run.
