The diagram illustrates the process of growing, processing, and exporting pineapples.
Overall, the pineapples are cultivated in a warm environment with temperatures ranging from 28°C to 30°C. After seven months of growth, the pineapples reach a height of approximately 26 cm. They continue growing for another five months until they fully mature, reaching 30 cm in height and weighing around 2 kg.
Once harvested, the pineapples are washed with water. They are then processed in three different ways. In one method, the pineapples are peeled and sliced before being sent to an extractor, where juice is produced. In the other method, the pineapples are cut into rings or chunks for packaging. Additionally, some whole pineapples undergo a waxing process to maintain freshness.
Finally, the processed pineapples are either canned or packed in crates for distribution. The final products are then transported by ship for export to international markets.
