IGA Named Australia's Best for Fruit & Veg
Celebrations continue as
Island Fresh Produce Celebrates Industry Recognition
There is plenty to celebrate across Tasmania's fresh food industry, with IGA Supermarkets recently named Australia's highest-rated supermarket for fruit and vegetables, while Island Fresh Produce has been recognised as Federal Hospitality's Food Partner of the Year for 2025-2026.
The latest Canstar customer satisfaction survey saw IGA claim the Most Satisfied Customers Award for Supermarket Fruit & Veg, earning top ratings for overall satisfaction, freshness, variety and value for money from Australian shoppers. The result highlights the strong trust consumers place in the IGA network.
For Island Fresh Produce, which proudly supplies IGA supermarkets throughout Tasmania, the news reinforces the importance of quality, consistency and strong local partnerships.
The recognition comes at a fitting time for Island Fresh Produce after recently being awarded Federal Hospitality's Food Partner of the Year for 2025-2026. The award was presented by one of Tasmania's leading hospitality groups and was selected from a field of more than 30 food suppliers competing in what is widely regarded as one of the most competitive supplier categories.
While the hospitality sector is only one part of Island Fresh Produce's business, the award is a significant endorsement of the service, reliability and commitment delivered by the IFP team across procurement, supplier partnerships, warehousing, logistics and customer support.
Together, the two recognitions tell a powerful story about the strength of Tasmania's fresh food supply chain. Australian consumers have identified IGA as the country's leading supermarket destination for fruit and vegetables, while a major Tasmanian hospitality operator has recognised Island Fresh Produce as its supplier of the year.
At Island Fresh Produce, the focus remains unchanged: supporting local communities, connecting customers with quality produce and delivering the dependable service that retailers and hospitality venues rely on every day.
