The diagram illustrates the different stages whereby pineapples are cultivated and processed to make pineapple yields. Overall, this man-made process comprises eight steps, which can be grouped into three stages: the collecting of pineapples, the processing of pineapples to turn them into pineapple juice and fruit-canned products, and eventually the packaging and delivery of pineapple to their final destinations.
Looking at the farming stage of the pineapple -producing process in detail, the process commences with farming pineapples from the plantation, which is planted under the temperature ranging from 28 to 30 Celsius degree, each is spaced 26 cm. After growing for 7 months, chemicals are added to each tree to protect against harmful agents. 5 months later, the plant grows to 30 cm in height and weights 2kg, making it mature enough to harvest.
The second stage of processing the pineapple products is that they are washed with water and graded into three categories based on their size. The top of smaller and medium-sized pineapples are chopped down and are peeled. A quintessential of this is that smaller pineapples are put in an extractor to make pineapple juice and they are extracted with special equipment. According to the pineapples, they are cut into slices before being canned. Furthermore, the larger pineapples are treated with a protective layer of wax to maintain their freshness and appearance, after which they are packed into crates. Finally, the products are delivered carefully overseas.
