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

The diagram illustrates the process by which

pineapples

are grown and refined into various end-products.

Overall

, the procedure comprises three main stages: planting, cleaning, and development of final products. Regarding the growth of

pineapples

, their crowns are first placed into the ground in a field, 26 cm apart, under a climate with temperatures ranging from 23 to 30°C. After seven months, chemicals are sprayed on the plants, and five months later, the

pineapples

are ready to be harvested, typically reaching a size of 30 cm and 2 kg.

Following

this

, the

pineapples

are thoroughly washed with water to remove any dirt and

then

sorted into small, medium, and large sizes, producing consumable forms. The small ones are peeled and placed into an extractor to obtain juice. The medium-sized

pineapples

are

also

peeled,

then

sliced or cut into chunks, and stored inside cans.

In contrast

, the large

pineapples

are coated in wax, kept in crates, and shipped off.
