Forging Global Ties and Facilitating Trade<br />
To AVA, the world is our oyster. Our efforts to<br />
diversify <strong>Singapore</strong>’s food sources and keep<br />
our food supply steady know no boundaries.<br />
Reaching to the far ends <strong>of</strong> the earth, we<br />
build ties with the global community by urging<br />
collaborations, learning what we need and<br />
sharing where we can. By making the world<br />
a smaller place, we can grow together in<br />
ensuring the quality and safety <strong>of</strong> our food<br />
everywhere.<br />
In our effort to protect<br />
endangered wild animal and<br />
plant species from exploitation<br />
by international trade, 5,291<br />
CITES permits were issued in<br />
FY02/<strong>03</strong>.<br />
