The diagram provides information on the growth process of pineapples and the three economic approaches of such fruits.
Overall, pineapples, which necessitate one year to grow fully, go through five stages to be a product in three forms, including juices, packaged products, and exported goods.
To begin with, pineapples require the heat of sunlight at 28oC to 30oC over their lifetime. In their first seven months, from the initial height of 26cm, they become bigger. After that, chemicals are essential to promote the development of pineapples for the next five months, reaching the optimal dimensions of 30cm and 2kg eventually.
Next, all resulting pineapples will be washed under pure water. To become a delicious drink and a wrap-up product, the crown will similarly be, at first, chopped down, and the remaining core will then again be cut into flat slices. The last two subsequent steps exhibit a difference between the two types of outcomes. An extractor is needed to mince all the pineapple slices before serving, while continuous cutting into smaller pulps is the case for the other approach before going through the wrapping process. However, for exported pineapples, there are no chopping steps, purified pineapples will be thoroughly waxed subsequently before being shipped through the waterway.
