TASK 1: The diagram below shows the process of growing and preparing pineapples and pineapple products.

The given diagram illustrates the stages involved in the cultivation and production of

pineapples

for various purposes. In general, it takes roughly a year for

pineapples

to reach full maturity. It can be seen that harvested

pineapples

will undergo different treatments depending on the size and intended use. First of all, pineapple plants are grown in an ideal environment with sufficient sunlight and warm

(28 to 30 degrees Celcius). The plants are spaced 26 cm apart from each other. During the cultivation process, chemicals are applied when the

pineapples

are about 7 months old to enhance their quality. After another 5 months, the fruits are considered ready for harvest when they reach the optimal height and weight (30 cm and 2 kg respectively). As regards the production process, harvested

pineapples

of different sizes are washed before being sorted.

Subsequently

, small and medium-sized ones will have their crowns removed and their outer skin peeled off. The former are

then

processed into pineapple juice by using an extractor,

while

the latter are cut into smaller pieces and canned.

In contrast

, large-sized

pineapples

are treated differently. After being washed, they are waxed to preserve their freshness and packed in crates for export.
