The diagram demonstrates how pineapples are cultivated and subsequently processed into various products.
Overall, the process consists of two main stages, beginning with the planting of pineapple and ending with the harvested fruit into several products.
Regarding the cultivation time, pineapple crowns are planted under ideal conditions, where they are exposed to sunlight and a temperature of around 23-30 degrees. These plants are spaced approximately 26 cm, ensuring that the plants have sufficient space to grow. After 7 months, the plants develop nearly fully and ethylene is added to stimulate the growth. The pineapples then mature with a reach of 30 cm in length and 2 kg in weight after 5 months.
The second stage mainly illustrates 3 different kinds of how pineapples are being processed. Having been harvested, pineapples are washed and sorted into three sizes. For juice production, the smallest types undergo extraction after being cut crown and into pieces. The medium-sized pineapples are removed from the crown, cut in a half and into slices before being canned. Finally, the largest fruits are exported overseas, with a layer of wax applied before being packed into crates.
