前些日我去新加坡探亲，在逛市场时留意那里的大米经营状况，也与一些供应商进行了交谈，感到有不少新意和启发。新加坡是个小型城市国家，人口约４００万，经济繁荣，人民生活水平较高。华人占７０％，主食是大米。但该国没有农业，自己不生产一粒粮食，全从泰国等地进口。在 A few days ago I went to visit relatives in Singapore. While visiting the market, I paid attention to the rice business there and also talked with some suppliers. I feel many new ideas and inspiration.
