Band 7+: You should spend about 20 minutes on this task. The diagram below shows the process of growing and preparing pineapples and pineapple products. Write at least 150 words.

The process of developing and preparing pineapples into unique products is depicted in the chart.

On the whole, the steps in this whole method involve production of pineapples and the preparation of products, which eventually results in a beverage, canned food, or send-out.

First of all, pineapples are produced in regions with temperatures between 23 and 30 degrees Celsius and in fields with 26 centimeters of space between each plant. After seven months, the plants undergo an ethylene treatment, and they grow for a further five months until they are ready to be harvested. At this stage, the pineapples should be thirty cm in height and weigh two kilograms.

The steps commence with the pineapples being picked and then cleaned in accordance with their sizes. The smallest and medium-sized pineapples are separated, and then their tops are removed and their skins are peeled. The smaller and medium-sized pineapples are sliced into smaller chunks or rings, which are then placed into an extractor to extract juice. The largest pineapples are distinguished by being essentially wax-coated and placed in cartons that are occasionally shipped abroad.
