Indonesia Supply Enables BCP Compliance for Singapore Wholesaler

A mid-sized egg wholesaler in Singapore was facing a critical SFA licence audit in 90 days. Their supply portfolio was heavily concentrated: approximately 95% Malaysian-sourced, with a small, inconsistent Australian supplement. SFA's BCP requirement mandated meaningful progress toward supply diversification — the industry benchmark being at least 15% from non-dominant origins. Without credible evidence of diversification, their licence renewal was at genuine risk.

The wholesaler had considered various alternative sources but found the process of establishing new supply relationships prohibitively complex on tight timelines. Identifying accredited farms, negotiating terms, coordinating veterinary documentation, and arranging logistics from unfamiliar origins all required expertise and relationships that took years to build.

CapitaFood proposed Indonesia as the ideal diversification solution. We matched the wholesaler with SFA-accredited Indonesian farms that met their volume and quality requirements. The geographic proximity meant shorter logistics chains and lower costs compared to more distant alternatives. Within the first two weeks, we had completed farm matching and documentation setup. The first trial shipment arrived within 25 days of engagement, and by the 45-day mark, the wholesaler had received multiple Indonesian consignments bringing their non-Malaysian supply above the 15% threshold.

The wholesaler's import licence was renewed without incident. They have since maintained CapitaFood as an ongoing Indonesia supply partner, with Indonesian eggs now representing approximately 20% of their total import volume. The arrangement provides both BCP compliance assurance and genuine supply diversification — with the added benefit of competitive Indonesian pricing that has improved their overall cost structure.
