Agriculture
Jurong Frog Farm stands as Singapore's only specialist bullfrog breeding facility and remains a cornerstone of the rural Kranji countryside's agricultural identity. Established in 1981 by Wan Bock Thiaw, the enterprise originally operated in the Jurong district before relocating to its current expansive premises in Lim Chu Kang in 1993. The farm is home to a population of over 10,000 American Bullfrogs, a species characterized by its substantial size and distinctive deep croak. Educational programs at the farm offer visitors an in-depth look into the amphibian life cycle, including interactive opportunities to feed the frogs or even handle a mature specimen. Beyond its tourism appeal, the farm is a critical commercial supplier of fresh frog meat and hashima, a traditional health supplement derived from frog oviducts. Managed with a focus on sustainable livestock practices, the facility hosts frequent guided tours tailored for families and school excursions. In a nation where arable land is scarce, Jurong Frog Farm provides a unique example of niche aquaculture and contributes significantly to Singapore's local food production diversity.
