Quality at Our Core

From the very beginning, rigorous quality control has been integral to our operations. At our packing sheds, every bunch is carefully inspected by trained staff, ensuring only the best reach our customers. Our grading system promotes transparency and rewards excellence, upholding strict standards for both our farms and partner growers. This unwavering commitment has made Tropicana Bananas synonymous with consistency and premium quality.

Peeling Back the Years

What began in 1974 as a banana wholesaling venture in Sydney, led by founder Pat Arcella, has grown into a half-century legacy of delivering exceptional fruit to Australians. In 1996, Pat took a bold step by purchasing his first farm, laying the foundation for Tropicana Bananas.
