The diagram illustrates the comprehensive process involved in the production and transportation of pineapples for commercial sale.
Overall, this process encompasses several distinct stages from cultivation to eventual shipping, highlighting essential duration and conditions that pineapples require to reach maturity.
Pineapple cultivation initiates under specific climatic conditions, necessitating a temperature range of 28 to 30 degrees Celsius. The growth period lasts approximately seven months, during which the pineapples attain an average height of 26 cm and a weight of 2 kg. Throughout this phase, a consistent supply of water is critical for optimal development. Following the growth period, a chemical application is performed, lasting five months, to enhance the quality of the fruit before harvesting.
After harvesting, the pineapples undergo a series of processing steps. Initially, they are coated with wax, which serves to preserve freshness and quality. Subsequently, the pineapples are sliced and converted into juice, after which they are packaged into cans for distribution. The final stage involves transporting these packaged products by ship, ensuring they reach their markets efficiently.
