As one of Australia’s biggest banana suppliers, the Tropicana banana team are always on the lookout for a chance to make a difference with our partnership and sponsorship programmes.
As Champion Sponsor of the Taronga Conservation Society Australia, we’re keeping animals at their Sydney Zoo well nourished with a weekly delivery of Tropicana Bananas.
The two year sponsorship agreement will see Tropicana delivering more than 7.5 tonnes of bananas to Taronga Zoo every year. We’re the Champion Sponsor of Taronga Zoo’s Black-handed Spider Monkey, but our weekly shipments of ripe and green fruit will ensure that all Taronga animals are getting their banana quota.
It’s an ideal partnership, enabling Tropicana to make the best use of bananas that don’t make the grade for our retail shipments. Instead of going to waste, these bananas will be selected to meet the quality standards of Taronga Zoo Food Preparation requirements and enjoyed by a wide range of the Zoo’s animals.
Watch out for the Tropicana logo in the Taronga Zoo Partners in Conservation gallery and at the Black-handed Spider Monkey exhibit. And if you spot any of the other animals tucking into bananas at feeding time, they’re probably enjoying the delicious Tropicana difference too.

Bananas don’t grow on trees, they’re actually the world’s largest plant.
