Why Is Fish So Expensive? | Talking Point | Full Episode 

I remember reading about the President recommending the people to buy prawns if they cannot find fishes

i believe in the near future, seafood will be a luxury because we humans eat them faster then they could reproduce

Rent and coe makes everything expensive in Singapore

Luckily in Sabah, Malaysia fish are cheap. Heaven for those who loves seafood! 🤩😍

Go to malaysia to eat fish cheaper than buying it in Singapore. I go to terengganu or Pahang to have a feast of fish once every 2 month with my family.. I already miss the keropok rekor rebus with the local sos..😵

This is another issue that has been around for quite some time. Every country seems to have issues like this. I boggles my mind that the concept of harvesting young fish will ultimately hurt the business. I know they don't care but in the video you never mentioned anything about a timeline of when fish will be running out at drastic levels. Because it is this reason alone why current boats don't care. The price they can get now before they die is a gain. It's basically a carpe diem attitude. I really see local governments or national governments laying down rules for the conversation of the resource. Imagine 25-50 years down the line you'll be limited to what you can and cannot eat fish wise not just from it being extremely expensive but because of bans and super controls by new laws etc. Totally not looking forward to that for future generations Do whatever you can to be self-sustaining. What you start now can be handed down and perfected by the time your great great grandchildren are your age.

I think it depends on the availability. Here in the Phl, fish is the cheaper option especially the canned ones.

wow so many Malaysian don't have job... but in the Malaysia factory so many foreigners.

20:30 pun intended? ^^ Btw (at the end) threadfin (ngo hu in Hokkien)is considered a delicacy, more expensive than regular fish.

I think most fishes will be in "farms or tanks" indoors in a multi story building.. Wild Caught fish will be super expensive... We may have to change our diet to eat only fishes that are easy to rear, while fishes like Tuna, Prompfret, Salmon etc will eventually be a something we eat only 2 or 3 times a year..

Malaysia fish 1kg Rm36👎 .. if Singapore is expensive.. Malaysian fish pice like gold already.

Wait. Singapore is an Island. Why is it importing fish when Singapore is surrounded by water? 50% of fish should be locally caught, depending on fish migration routes.

Whatever getting expensive in Singapore, there are Indonesian and Malaysian who take the profit...

you forgot to mention that more and more Chinese fishing fleet are enormous which is the major cause of fish depletion in the ocean.

Here in Sibu Sarawak miserable small tilapia costs rm18 a kg. Your fish look big-not too expensive considering your income!

(10:55) You can't feed the fish bugs? I heard in a Ted Talk that bugs are an efficient way of feeding fish.

Big boss Gary !.

Because we import everything, exporters now treat Singapore as a "cow", with plenty of milk !! 😁

For example, the price of chicken may be rising fast, but we can encourage Singaporeans to turn to alternative sources of protein, such as fish.

Details are important..it is to account the inventories..skipping inventories that makes it costly and eventual loss.

If u have study, observe and look around, Singaporean is the most unlucky one in enjoying food especially fresh food.Paying the most but getting lousy quality or value. Firstly, although we have strong currency value, our fishes all are imported and become even more expensive for us over nothing but exchg rare only. Even dun compare to Malaysia or Indonesia, with abundance of fresh fish with low low price, Japan the most fresh fish catch n eaten are considered even better than us, own fishing and fish fresh n good n affordable, not forgetting their fishery are cleaned and neater and structured, our is mess.

Fish prices in Singapore has always been more than 100% more than the same fish you buy in Malaysia.

Petrol hike, this must include those fuel used for logistic via sea or land, perception of GST increase thus company increase prices slowly to not lead to price shock when GST finally increases

The soaring crude oil price might be the culprit of high food prices. Go green energy or deplete crude oil first, it's a catch-22 issue!

its expensive because everyone wants profit. the market is a crazy place

use the unused part of the fish... grind them and feed them to the fish lol

Host: How many boats do you have? Gary: 40 Overssss

Because something is FISHY ? Just for laughs lah 😉 😜 😘

I just came here to see him hug a fish.

Omg the way the illegal fisherman catch,left no other fish to breed. Thats horrible!!!! What will be left??! Greed. Pure greed. And the ones that does the catch is just trying to survive.the top ring leader is to be blame..

Ask LKIM...Lembaga Kemajuan Ikan Malaysia.. 'artifical feeds' no wonder the fish meat does not taste sweet good.

Expensive but it's so tasty and nutritious

This is what happened when a country over relied on others for its seafood supply. In Singapore Guess hardly any of its kiasu citizens will choose being a fisherman as an occupation.

if you ask any fisher folk around the parts of asia. they'll tell you the same thing. illegal chinese vessels fishing at an industrial scale with no regulations.

Prices on foods products will going up and up,and wouldn’t coming down at all

-good luck singaporeans ..

Raymond resembles Jay Chou with no hair

Gary Ko " Costs increased 30%" " Profits dropped by 30%" LOL 🤣😂

Fish expensive Fisherman still poor

Did Malaysia have seas or Malaysia catched of Indonesia's sea, it called illegal fishing cause the territorial of Malaysia is smaller than Indonesia. Malaysia territorial is a little bigger than Singapur

Its totally unsustainable overfishing. The rest are just extra reasons.

No more fish in the sea lar

Everything is expensive..

We allowed foreign fishing boat to catch and export our fish making it expensive. We cannot see what is in the sea but we feel the consequences.

Despite the odds, Singapore has to be at least half self sufficient in most food categories in order for costs to come down and stability to step in.

Not only fish. Everything has risen except our salary hahaha.

It sounds like too many things are contributing fish price increase, too much to tackle. However, economy is human activity, indicating that the authority intentionally ease the control of the money flow. Who are benefitting from high prices? What you get is what you wanted.

That why Malaysia will effect the life of Singapore peoples

Dont buy, easiest way to eliminate price control.

Greedy companies who operates on unsustainable way

Malaysia diesel's price is 2.15 per liter today. Your figure is distorted. At least something that I know.

I started with just 4,000 dollars now earning upto 17,000 dollars WEEKLY.

So this video are they conditioning us to expect higher prices? 😁The later part of the video mentioned that foreign boats illegally trawl in malaysia, but in beginning part of video it mention in jurong we allow foreign vessels to unload their catch here. So whether it's legal or illegal fishing boats both have to deal with high costs for fuel like diesel food labor so if they have to spend weeks or months at sea fishing that's going to require high cashflow so to meet this cashflow from time to time when the boat storage holds for fish get full they have to empty it somewhere and when fuel tanks get low they have to refuel somewhere so where do they do it "somewhere" ? 😂😂

Fisherman's should only take what they need from the ocean...clearly this is not what's happening, and before you know it the ocean's will become like the land barren and bare.

meanwhile in indonesia.... we bored of fish

Inflation is good for business in short all can charge higher prices.

From fish farms ..all the cost involved not free from the seas ..so eat fish need to pay lor.. everybody needs good pay to feed the family ..

Who knows how much wk goes into this operations 🇹🇹

Where r our marine police n what r they doing, jst don't understand n heard that Chinese large fishing trawlers r doing illegal fishing ..

Take a peak in our neighborhood water, who is coming, claiming & fishing in mass with hundreds of vessels, armed & guarded....

ဒီဗီဒီယိုက အရမ်းကောင်းပါတယ်။

oh boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Come to Ipoh. Fish cheap here

Fish become a international brand! We got US fish call mrFish aka mrbeast We oso got korea fish call blackfish aka blackpink

愈卖愈贵...那么就stop 一段时间或者大量少订购....很快就便宜啦……

well fish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Red fleets devastating fish stocks around the world

Malaysian fishermen are also well known for overfishing leh

Will we come to a day when million of dollars can’t even buy u a glass of clean water . We consuming the earth resources like it’s infinity

put fines on illegal fishing is useless, destroy the boats!

Feeding human food to fish in farms and later human eating fish. This is silly. Humans through out ate what they could get where they lived. Why does everyone want to eat food their ancestors didn’t eat?

All illegal fishing vessels need to be sunk on the spot, period!

Indonesia should have closed its seas to foreign fishing vessels..And U No What I mean😉😁

Ya why? Fishy

Why is meat so cheap?

Ah inflation.

Singaporeans are rich, it's ok to pay a bit more.

Like no.280 👍😀

The cause is too many boat and over catch.

All the Raymond are botaks?

Make fish farms lah

I only eat a50 wagyu beef. Solid chunks of fat.🤣

Who really care so much, eat and worry later. As long as the item is cheap, it feels good. As long as the items need to queue to buy, it feels super great. As long as the item is given free, it feels super super super fantastic.

Eat mock vegetarian fish lor… not hard to get fish. I can always fish my fishes

Its not just singapore... the entire world is running out of seafoods.... this is a stupid episode...😜

Go ask aquaman

Pap is the problem

Fish 🐠🐟 farming in toxic water 🌊💦

So ex then not so fresh

All these are profiteering.

Fisherman: Illegal trawlers are catching everything and destroying sea beds leaving nothing in future. The host's closing statement: As much as I like this fish I can eat a different fish in future. An odd attempt to whitewash over a coming calamity as millions of people go hungry and the oceans are left a barren desert.

First!

i need intps to help me and istjs and istps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! as an estj a!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why you don't talk open Free fishing on Horn of Africa Somalia. Same countries make trillions of dollars. That no body talk about it. Specifically those are colled Frist world's

might have to go vegan very soon

Very good information for consumers. please add in Chinese sub for more ppl to understand.

I am vegetarian so i dont care😂😂

it is because of capitalism

We can eat other animals like rats, dogs , cats , crows, pigeons as there are plenty in our neighbourhood.

Fish is almost gone in the Oceans anyone who is informed would know this it is simple supply and demand no reason to watch a video about this at all. So ye there is your answer no need to waste 22mins of your life on this.
