Immigrated to Singapore as a farmer

Singapore has always attracted a large number of immigrants and international students to develop in Singapore, and there are also many good employment legends among Singaporeans who immigrate to Singapore. Let's talk about emigrating to Singapore as a farmer.

Two new immigrants from China, after coming to highly urbanized Singapore for more than ten years, actually changed careers in middle age, and started a farm with several local senior agricultural experts, growing vegetables and mushrooms, and became farmers. The introduction of high-tech planting and cultivation techniques into farms has injected new connotations into the concept of "farmer" in Singapore.

As a city country, Singapore has almost no rural areas, and the proportion of agriculture in the economy is very small. More than 90% of the food is imported from abroad. Tian Jianjie, an architectural engineer who has worked and lived here for nearly 15 years, is well aware of all this, but when his career is facing transformation, the first thing in his mind is to go to Singapore to be a farmer!

At first, he was even shocked by his own ideas, but through investigation and analysis, field trip and training in China Academy of Agricultural Sciences, he became more and more determined to walk towards his "dream of urban farmers".

Tian Jian, a 40-year-old resident, was born in Hebei, China, and his parents were out-and-out farmers. From 65438 to 0995, Tian Jianjie, an employee of Beijing Housing Corporation, followed the company to expand business in Singapore and became attached to the island country. In 2007, the company withdrew from the local area, but Tian Jianjie stayed and set up a private construction company with several colleagues who came from China to continue to work hard on the construction site.

Over time, a sense of crisis permeated Tian Jianjie's heart. "I personally feel that the construction industry is getting harder and harder, and relevant policies have been adjusted again and again. The living space of our small construction company is getting smaller and smaller, but our age is getting bigger and bigger. It seems that career transformation is imperative! "

Wu Ying, who has the same career track as Tian Jianjie, also felt the pressure.

Wu Ying, 42, graduated from the Civil Engineering Department of Southeast University in China, and then studied for an MBA at Birmingham University in the UK. At the beginning, she also came to Singapore with Beijing Housing Corporation, and later the whole family immigrated here. After the company quit, Wu Ying, the mother of two children, did not move again because of family reasons, but cooperated with his colleague Tian Jianjie to run a private construction company.

Now both of them have the idea of changing the runway: Tian Jianjie wants to rent a piece of land in Singapore to grow all kinds of vegetables; Wu Ying wants to plant plants and engage in three-dimensional greening. As a result, the two hit it off and began to find a place, choose products and implement them step by step.
