Costa Rica remains the leader in global pineapple production with 12.49% share, noting a modest year-on-year increase. The Philippines and Brazil follow, with Brazil showing a decline in production while the Philippines experienced slight growth. Thailand, China, and India have recorded notable growth, with Thailand leading the upward trajectory. In contrast, the U.S. and some African countries such as Ivory Coast and Swaziland experienced declines. Over the past five years, the production growth has been driven primarily by South Asian and African nations due to favorable climatic conditions and improved agricultural practices.
Future trends to watch include:
- Sustainability practices as a factor influencing production, particularly in Western countries.
- Potential shifts in international trade policies impacting export-dependent countries like Costa Rica.
- Technological innovations facilitating yield improvement in emerging economies.
- Climate change effects on traditional pineapple-growing regions, possibly shifting favorable zones.
