Landscape and Animal Sector Productivity Grant

[NEW] Landscape and Animal Sector Productivity Grant (Application Period to open from 4 May 2023)

With effect from 29 April 2023, the Landscape and Animal Sector Productivity Grant (LAPG) will replace the Landscape Productivity Grant (LPG) and Agriculture Productivity Fund (Non-Food). The LPG and Agriculture Productivity Fund (Non-Food) were previously streamlined into the Productivity Solutions Grant (PSG).

 

Objectives

 

The Landscape and Animal Sector Productivity Grant (LAPG) helps companies defray the cost of purchasing equipment and creating new digital solutions to streamline work processes. It is part of NParks’ effort to encourage the digitalisation of the landscape sector to enhance productivity.

 

This in turn drives sectoral transformation, resulting in a stronger, resilient, and agile industry that can better support efforts to intensify greening in Singapore as we transform into a City in Nature.

 

 

Who Can Apply

 

Landscape, orchid and ornamental fish companies with valid licence or registration issued by NParks are eligible to apply for the grant.

 

How to Apply

Companies can apply for this funding under two schemes:

 

I.               Standard Scheme allows companies to invest in equipment based on a pre-approved list of landscape equipment.
