Exporting Elegance: Singapore’s Attractive Market for Unique Goods
Singapore's role extends beyond transit; it is a prime destination for rare and luxury items, including fine cheeses, rare meats, live animals, and even Christmas trees. Sourcing cheeses from small European farms—like the aged pyramids from Sweden—entails a careful process of sealing, temperature regulation, and monitoring during transit to maintain quality.
One vivid example involved a visit to a Swedish cheese farm, where the traditional cheese-making process has been maintained for decades. Producers seal the cheeses in airflow-permitting jars and pack them in thermal bags with cooling gels, ensuring the product arrives in prime condition.
