The provided charts illustrate the global pineapple exports from the leading three pineapple-producing nations in both 2009 and 2019, alongside a detailed breakdown of the consumer cost per pineapple in 2019.
Overall, it is evident that the export volumes of pineapples varied significantly among the countries, with Country A experiencing a substantial increase, while Country B saw a notable decline. The consumer cost analysis reveals various components contributing to the final price.
In 2009, Country B dominated pineapple exports with 10 million tons, significantly outpacing its competitors. However, by 2019, this country’s export figure dwindled to approximately 6 million tons, marking a reduction of 4 million tons. Conversely, Country A demonstrated remarkable growth, exporting around 2 million tons in 2009 and escalating to about 3.5 million tons a decade later. Country C maintained a consistent export volume, with around 1 million tons recorded in both years, indicating stability but minimal growth compared to its counterparts.
Regarding the consumer cost of pineapples in 2019, the data highlights that the producer’s share constituted the largest portion at 35%. This was followed by export costs at 18% and international transport taking up 16%. The remaining components included import licenses, which accounted for 10%, profit margins at 12%, taxes at 4%, and distribution and retail costs at 5%. This breakdown illustrates the complexity of pineapple pricing and the various stakeholders involved in the distribution chain.
