SINGAPORE – Mr Webster Tham, co-founder of local agri-technology company Tomato Town, is looking to harvest Japanese cherry tomatoes and heirloom varieties of tomatoes through a collaboration with a Japanese company that makes tomato-based foods and vegetable juices. By leveraging the Japanese firm’s farming expertise and using a special variety of its heat-resilient seeds, Mr Tham is hoping to grow tomatoes that can withstand Singapore’s hot and humid weather.  “There’s untapped potential there in that consumer tastes are converging towards these higher-end types of tomatoes, which are not readily available in the market and are mostly imported from Europe or Australia,” he said.       https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/local-farms-push-ahead-with-international-collaborations-to-further-s-pore-s-30-by-30-plan (ICE SINGAPORE)
