The Pineapple Cycle

Preparation of the land

The soil is conditioned by removing weeds and other debris to ensure a clean environment. Subsequently, tillage is carried out to ensure that the soil is loose, well-drained, and rich in organic matter. Pineapples thrive in tropical and subtropical climates, with temperatures between 24°C and 30°C, abundant sunlight, and moderate rainfall.

Material Selection

Crowns, the top of the fruit, shoots that emerge from the base of the mother plant or suckers are chosen as planting material.

Plantation

The selected material is placed in furrows or prepared holes in the ground, ensuring adequate spacing between plants to promote optimal growth.

                                                                Early phase (0-3 months)

During this stage, the plants establish their roots and begin to develop leaves.
It is crucial to maintain proper watering to ensure that seedlings do not become dehydrated and can grow healthy with the correct balance of nutrients between rain and sun, so that after a few weeks they are ready to produce fruit                                                                 

 

                                                                                                                                          The flower, is the fruit!

At this stage, the leaves expand rapidly, forming a dense rosette. The plant accumulates essential nutrients in its leaves in preparation for flowering.
After flowering, the flowers fuse together to form a single large fruit. This fruit formation process lasts
approximately 5 to 6 months    

                                                           The Fruit

During ripening, pineapple accumulates sugars, which intensifies its sweetness and develops its characteristic color.
The increase in sugar level and the change in color are key indicators in determining the optimal time of harvest.

                                                      Harvest

Ripening: Pineapples are harvested when they have reached their optimum point of ripeness, which is
determined by observing their sweetness, internal and external color.
Harvesting: The harvest is done manually, with great care, dexterity and thus avoid damage to the fruit.

 

                                                                  To the packing house

The transport of pineapple from the farm to the packing plant is a delicate process that seeks to
prese the quality of the fruit and minimize damage during transport.
This process consists of several to ensure that the pineapples arrive in optimal
condition at the packing plant.

Fruit selection

Based on quality and size, only the best pineapples are
sent to the packing area.

Packing

The fruits are packed according to the specifications
required for their target market, whether local or
international.

Cooling of the pineapple

The cooling of pineapples begins immediately after harvest and continues during storage and transport,
with the purpose of preserving the freshness, flavor and texture of the fruit in its best condition until it
reaches the consumer.
