It gives me tremendous pleasure to express my blessings in this newly launched booklet and congratulate the Singapore Fruits & Vegetables Importers and Exporters Association for launching its new members’ directory edition.
Having worked closely with SFVIEA when setting up a business group which visited Israel in January 2010, and through getting to know its members as well as its directors before and after the group’s visit, I can say with confidence that the level of cooperation and professional work which has been carried out with SFVIEA had been both promising and inspiring, thus, ensuring the success of the visit and bringing about numerous collaborations in various agricultural fields between professionals from Singapore and Israel.
Similar with Singapore, Israel is a small country which has managed to develop itself to become a developed and prosperous modern economy.
The Israeli agricultural industry has also transformed itself over the years from a labor intensive industry to an Agro-tech knowledge intensive industry based on knowledge, expertise and competiveness thus enabling to bring about high yields and innovative produce through the introduction of modern machinery, advanced methods and superior knowhow.
I wish for the continued support we have received from SFVIEA in bridging over the distances to bring together business cooperation and knowledge sharing, and I have the honor of wishing SFVIEA and its member’s great success and best of luck for the launching of the new members’ directory edition.
