The diagram illustrates how pineapples are cultivated and subsequently transformed into various products.
Overall, the entire process consists of several steps, beginning with the cultivation of pineapples and concluding with their processing into juice, canned products, and export goods. Additionally, the separation of pineapples is based on their size and characteristics.
In the cultivation stage, pineapples are grown in sunlight, with an ideal temperature range of 28 to 30 degrees Celsius, and spaced 26 centimeters apart. After seven months, the young pineapples are treated with chemicals to enhance their growth efficiency. The fully grown pineapples reach a desired height of 30 centimeters and a weight of 2 kilograms after being cultivated for five months.
Once harvested, these mature pineapples are gathered into a large tank to be cleaned under running water, preparing them for the softening stage. The smallest pineapples have their tops chopped off and are then peeled. Subsequently, they are squeezed in an extractor to produce pineapple juice. Similarly, the medium-sized fruits undergo the same chopping and peeling process as the smallest ones. However, these medium-sized pineapples are cut into small slices for canning purposes. Finally, the largest pineapples are coated with a layer of wax to preserve them during transportation. After this, the pineapples are softened into packaging boxes and prepared for cargo delivery to other countries.
