(Headway promotes comprehensive cold chain for agricultural exports)

HEADWAY JSC ACCELERATES VEGETABLE EXPORTS TO THE SINGAPORE MARKET

The entire shipment was processed, preserved, and packaged according to the strict standards of the island nation of Singapore, contributing to enhancing the position of Vietnamese agricultural products in the international market.

Promoting Vietnam-Singapore agricultural trade

The Vietnam Trade Office in Singapore cited data from the Singapore Enterprise Authority, stating that bilateral trade turnover between Vietnam and Singapore has reached 33.3 billion SGD (equivalent to 25.3 billion USD), up 25.7% over the same period, and surpassing the record of 31.67 billion USD in 2024.

Vietnam is one of Singapore's important sources of agricultural products. Statistics from Vietnam Customs show that by October 2025, the cumulative export turnover of fruits and vegetables to Singapore has reached 38.3 million USD, continuing to maintain a stable growth momentum.

Why Vietnamese agricultural products are prioritized for import by Singapore?

Due to limited agricultural output and growing resources, Singapore has to import most of its fresh agricultural products from foreign markets, including Vietnam because of:

• Near geographical location: short shipping time, optimal quality
• Abundant agricultural output: Vietnam has the advantage of growing areas with large output and stable exports.
• Competitive prices, low logistics costs: Developed seaport system, cold storage, logistics center, favorable for export
• Quality improvement: meeting GlobalGAP / VietGAP standard, high standard packaging
• Strong development of Vietnam - Singapore relations: stable supply of agricultural products

This is an opportunity for Vietnamese export enterprises as well as cold chain enterprises like Headway to expand market share and access demanding markets like Singapore.

Comprehensive cold chain solution for agricultural exports

Vegetables and fruits are products that are sensitive to temperature, humidity and environmental conditions. Even small deviations in storage conditions can cause vegetables to lose water, reduce quality, shelf life and become easily damaged.

Headway provides a comprehensive cold chain package for vegetable shipments to Singapore:

• Fast customs clearance: standardize packaging, traceability, optimize quarantine and customs clearance, minimize waiting time at the port.
• Domestic trucking of full-package cargo: Refrigerated trucks ensure temperature throughout the transportation process from factory to port.

• Controlled operating parameters: monitor temperature, humidity, ventilation, loading and unloading conditions, maintain the freshness of vegetables.
