City Sustainability

What do cities need? 

Where does Hong Kong get its food from? 

90% of the total food supply in Hong Kong is imported food. The Mainland is our most important food source, especially for fresh food.94% of fresh pork, 100% of fresh beef, 92% of vegetables and 66% of eggs in Hong Kong come from the Mainland. As for fresh fruits, our major sources of import are the United States, the Mainland, the Philippines and Thailand. Apart from fresh food, Hong Kong also imports chilled and frozen food from many other countries, e.g., chilled and frozen pork and beef from Brazil, salmon from Norway, and fruits from the Philippines and Thailand, etc, so as to maintain a stable supply.
