Singapore imports almost all of its food, and bananas lean on just two countries at record prices. ECOISM's 'Golden Drop' diversifies supply — for shelves that stay stocked and prices that stay steady.
Food security is national strategy — and its first pillar is diversifying import sources.
Singapore imports over 90% of its food — exposed to climate, disease and geopolitical shocks.

'Golden Drop' is the premium banana line from ECOISM's fruit division — built on diversified, resilient sourcing that aligns with Singapore's food-security strategy.
ECOISM Singapore Fruit sources 'Golden Drop' from Trường Tồn (Truong Ton), our officially certified partner farm in Vietnam. Every bunch is grown, harvested, processed and packed under internationally recognised food-safety and quality standards — and exported to Japan, Korea and China.
A partner who shares our values. Trường Tồn's own motto — "prosperity with customers" — and its commitment to balancing the interests of customers, employees and the community echo our own Sanpo-yoshi principle: good for the seller, the buyer, and society.
Quality (sweetness, freshness, nutrition) plus stable, diversified supply.
