SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 16 September 2026 – Food delivery is now firmly embedded in everyday life for nearly two in three Singaporean households (64%), but convenience alone is no longer enough. From choosing a restaurant to checking out and receiving an order, Singapore consumers expect meaningful choice, clear value, and an excellent experience – and they are counting on healthy market competition to protect all three.

However, following Deliveroo’s market exit in March 2026, a new consumer study by Blackbox Research reveals widespread apprehension that this three-way expectation is breaking down. With the sector effectively consolidated into a two-player market, consumers increasingly view platform surcharges, markups, and exclusivity arrangements as direct cost-of-living pressures.

Key findings from the study of 1,001 active delivery consumers include:

• Fears of Rising Charges: 85% of consumers fear higher delivery charges, whilst 84% expect steeper menu prices and higher platform fees as a direct consequence of reduced competition.
• Checkout Cart Abandonment: Over two-thirds of consumers (69%) have abandoned an order at checkout in the past three months due to surprising late fees.
• A Narrowing Duopoly: Over nine in ten active users (92%) now default to either GrabFood (85% reach) or foodpanda (66% reach). Consequently, 57% of consumers believe their genuine choices have shrunk.
• Demand for Open Menus: 83% of consumers think restaurants should be listed across multiple delivery platforms rather than locked into single-app arrangements.
• Merchant Pressures: 72% believe fewer platforms leave local restaurants with higher commission costs or weaker commercial terms, which are ultimately passed back onto consumer checkout bills.

David Black, Founder & CEO of Blackbox Research, said: “Food delivery has become an essential weekly routine for most households, and Singaporeans have very clear expectations around what makes that worthwhile: meaningful choice, fair value, and reliable service. But there is genuine anxiety across the market. Everyday delivery users fear that without vigorous competition, they will be left to pick up the tab – whether in dollars and cents or through a deteriorating experience. When delivery apps feed the majority of households, platform pricing practices become a direct, everyday cost-of-living concern.”

The Final Tab: What It All Adds Up To
Choice, value, and service are not separate expectations. All three rely on platforms continuing to compete actively for each order. If that competitive pressure weakens, consumers expect fewer options, higher costs, and poorer service – whilst local food businesses face an even tighter squeeze.

The full report, Hungry for Choice: Are Singapore’s consumers and food businesses paying the price of reduced competition in food delivery?, is available for download here.

About the Study & Methodology
This study combined quantitative consumer polling with interviews with industry experts:

• Quantitative Survey: Fielded online in July 2026 among 1,001 active food delivery consumers aged 18 and above in Singapore who ordered via an app within the preceding three months. The sample closely mirrors national demographics by age, gender, income, and ethnicity.
• Expert Interviews: Conducted in August 2026 with five independent specialists across competition economics, platform operations, SME commerce, and public policy.

Headquartered in Singapore, Blackbox is Southeast Asia’s leading decision intelligence provider, delivering decision science solutions and community-wide perspectives on contemporary challenges. As a provider of data insights, we work closely with businesses, governments, regulators, and non-profit organisations across the region. For more information, visit blackbox.com.sg

The value of technology goes beyond efficiency. Emma Wu noticed that a large number of overseas fresh fruit brands are stepping up their presence in China, while many domestic brands are showing a strong desire to go global. Emma Wu remarked: “A growing number of international brands are now registering Chinese brand names, setting up dedicated consumer brand teams, and increasing their investment at the retail end. The essence of branding lies in brand owners extending their quality commitment to the end consumer. This, in turn, requires them to maintain effective control of product condition at every link of the domestic supply chain. The same applies to Chinese brands going global.”

In the past, once imported fruit arrived at port, quality essentially entered a “black box” — brand owners had no visibility over key metrics like arrival temperature, handling status, or outbound records across the supply chain.

Emma Wu added that AI is transforming the fresh fruit and vegetables industry from one that “runs on experience” to one that “makes decisions with data.” In sorting and quality inspection, AI vision technology can assess coloration, size, and defects within a second — with greater accuracy and consistency than the human eye. In warehousing, automated equipment is taking over repetitive tasks such as material handling and palletizing. In transportation, IoT sensors track the temperature and location of every load in real time, and could raise the alarm before any issue arises.

Built around the unique characteristics of berry products, VX Logistics has customized a comprehensive end-to-end solution encompassing precision temperature and humidity management as well as rapid in-warehouse throughput — supporting the annual market launch of close to 200 million boxes of berries for Driscoll’s.

Zespri has been a partner of VX Logistics for over a decade. VX Logistics has built a full end-to-end system for Zespri in China – covering warehousing, quality inspection, ripening, automated sorting, and packaging.

“Cold-chain logistics is not a cost center — it is a value center.” She further pointed out that cold-chain logistics today is no longer merely a cost item for warehousing and transportation. It is a provider of supply chain solutions for brand clients. Both expanding overseas and deepening presence in China demand stable temperature and humidity control and quality assurance. The technological nature and professional reliability of cold-chain operations make cold-chain logistics an “added value” that safeguards product quality and reduces loss.

After 13 years of dedicated development, VX Logistics’ cold-chain scale now ranks first in Asia and stands firmly among the global top tier. As the supply chain service provider behind renowned fruit brands such as Zespri, Driscoll’s, Envy Apples, and Rockit, VX Logistics’ core competitive edge lies in its technology-driven supply chain services.

Demonstrates a Complete Ore-to-Battery-Grade Flowsheet Ahead of Prefeasibility Study

West Vancouver, British Columbia – Newsfile Corp. – September 15, 2026 – Surge Battery Metals Inc. (TSXV: NILI) (OTCQX: NILIF) (FSE: DJ5) (the “Company” or “Surge“) is pleased to announce that Nevada North Lithium, LLC (“NNL“), the joint venture formed by Surge and Evolution Mining Limited, refined lithium carbonate produced from NNL ore to a battery-grade product reported at 99.95% Li2CO3.

Kemetco Research Inc. (“Kemetco”) produced a crude lithium carbonate assaying 99% Li2CO3 directly from the NNLP Master Composite through beneficiation, sulfuric acid leaching, solution purification and carbonate precipitation, as part of the metallurgical program supporting the Project’s prefeasibility study (“PFS”). A portion of that carbonate was then refined by Chemshift Technologies Inc. of Calgary, Alberta, to a battery-grade product reported at 99.95% Li2CO3. Together the two programs demonstrate a continuous flowsheet from run-of-mine ore to a refined battery-grade product using conventional unit operations, reducing technical risk as the Project advances toward completion of the PFS.

Highlights

• Battery-grade product achieved. Crude lithium carbonate produced from Nevada North clays was refined to a product reported at 99.95% Li2CO3.
• Complete flowsheet demonstrated. Kemetco produced a 99% Li2CO3 product directly from the NNLP Master Composite through beneficiation, leaching, impurity removal and carbonate precipitation. The subsequent refining step on the same material demonstrated that battery-grade material can be produced from Project clays using conventional unit operations.
• Strong lithium extraction. Sulfuric acid leaching of beneficiated Project material achieved lithium extractions exceeding 93% at an acid addition of 475 kg/t of beneficiated feed, increasing to approximately 98% at a higher acid addition. Leach kinetics were rapid, with leaching complete within one hour of reaching the 90°C target temperature.
• Effective beneficiation. Mild attrition followed by screening recovered 98.9% of the lithium into the fine (-20 µm) fraction while rejecting approximately 75% of the acid-consuming carbonate, confirming the material’s amenability to beneficiation ahead of the leach circuit.

Mr. Greg Reimer, President, Chief Executive Officer and Director of Surge, commented, “Producing battery-grade lithium carbonate from Nevada North ore is a significant step for the Project. We have now demonstrated the full chain – from sedimentary clay in the ground, through a conventional leach and purification circuit, to a refined product that meets battery-grade specifications. That outcome supports the flowsheet our engineers have been developing through the prefeasibility study. Our focus now turns to pilot-scale work, where we will test recovery, consistency, reagent consumption and energy performance under continuous operating conditions.”

The Company also announces it has entered into a marketing services agreement dated September 14, 2026 (the “Agreement”) with Outside The Box Capital Inc. (“OTBC”), an Ontario-based marketing firm with an office at 2202 Green Orchard Place, Oakville, Ontario. OTBC will assist the Company with marketing strategy, social-media engagement, the distribution of Company-approved information through online platforms and the production of influencer, question-and-answer and corporate-highlight videos. The engagement commenced on September 14, 2026 and has a term of 12 months, divided into two six-month periods. Either party may terminate the Agreement during the initial six-month period upon 30 days’ notice, and if the Agreement is not terminated in the initial six-month period, then the Agreement will continue for the subsequent six-month period. The Company will pay OTBC US$250,000 plus applicable taxes for each six-month period (aggregate cash payments of US$500,000 for the full 12-month term of the Agreement), with the payments funded from the Company’s working capital. Subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and the Company’s equity incentive plan, The Company has also granted OTBC 700,000 stock options, each exercisable at C$1.02 per common share for a period of 5 years. The options will vest in equal quarterly instalments over 12 months in accordance with applicable TSX Venture Exchange requirements, and any unvested options will be cancelled if the Agreement is terminated for any reason. OTBC is owned and controlled by Jason Coles, is arm’s length to the Company and, together with its principals, does not currently own any securities of the Company other than the options described above and has no other present right or intention to acquire an interest in the Company. The Agreement remains subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

The Company wishes to correct its news releases dated July 8, 2026, and September 10, 2026, which stated that stock options were granted to certain directors, officers and consultants of the Company. The options were granted solely to consultants of the Company, and no options were granted to any directors or officers. All other terms of the option grants and the previous news releases remain unchanged.

Qualified Person as Defined Under National Instrument 43-101

Singapore diesel supplier crosses the billion-dollar mark amid tightening global supply, and extends into coal to provide energy for the world.

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 15 September 2026 – Concerns over tightening diesel supply are reshaping procurement across Asia. Buyers who once purchased on demand are now moving to secure stockpiles ahead of potential shortages — and the surge has pushed transaction volumes at Singapore’s fuel trading desks to record levels.

Fuel Incorporation Pte Ltd (“Fuelinc”), a Singapore diesel supplier holding term contracts with oil majors has now facilitated more than US$1 billion in gasoil and diesel transactions internationally, as governments, industrial buyers and traders move to lock in EN590 10ppm supply against an uncertain market.

“What we’re seeing is a fundamental shift in how buyers think about diesel,” said Charlie Tan, Director of Fuel Incorporation. “Nobody wants to be caught short. Parties that used to buy for on spot basis are now procuring an an annual basis — and they’re coming to Singapore to do it, because this is where the supply relationships are.”

Fuelinc’s position at the centre of these flows reflects Singapore’s role as the region’s energy trading hub. Alongside its domestic business — bulk EN590 10ppm diesel supplied island-wide through its own fleet of tankers to construction, logistics and industrial customers — the company has built an international trading desk spanning gasoil, crude oil, LPG, LNG, bunkering and vessel charter.

Expansion into coal. Fuelinc today also announced its expansion into coal supply, securing supply from an Indonesian coal mine to serve power-generation and industrial buyers across the region. The move extends the company’s mandate from fuels into the broader commodities that power economies — positioning Fuelinc as a single Singapore-based counterparty for the energy the world runs on.

“Energy security is no longer just about diesel,” Tan added. “The same customers asking us to secure their fuel are asking about coal for their power needs. With Indonesian supply behind us, we can now answer both.”
