The diagram illustrates the multi-stage process of cultivating pineapples and subsequent preparation for various final products.
Overall, the process is sequential, beginning with the planting of the pineapple crown and concluding with the fruit being processed into one of three forms: juice, canned slices, or fresh exports. The total growing time for a single pineapple is approximately 12 months.
The cultivation process commences when the crown of the pineapple is planted in the ground, requiring temperatures between 23-30°C. Subsequently, the plant is left to grow for a period of seven months, after which it reaches a height of 26cm. At this stage, the plant is sprayed with ethaline to stimulate flowering. After a further five months, the fruit is ready for harvest, typically measuring 30cm in height and weighing 2kg.
Once harvested, the pineapples are sorted into three different production lines. The first line involves cutting and extracting the juice, which is then bottled. The second line sees the fruit sent for further processing where the skin is removed, and the flesh is cut into slices before being sealed in cans. Finally, the third line prepares the whole fruit for export; the pineapples are coated with wax, packed into crates, and then shipped overseas.
