Pineapple Production; A Tropical and Delicious Fruit

Pineapple is a native fruit of the tropical regions of South America, with the first cultivation carried out by the indigenous people of South America. Historical evidence shows that pineapple production in South America dates back at least to 2000 BC. The natives used pineapple as a source of food and medicine. It was also an important commercial product.

Europeans introduced pineapple to other parts of the world in the 16th century, making it a global fruit. It quickly became popular in tropical regions and has maintained its global popularity to this day. The largest producer of pineapple in the world is Brazil. After that, Oceania, India, the Philippines, Mexico, and China are among the major pineapple producers.

Health Benefits of Pineapple

The rich and nutritious compounds in pineapple include vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, which are very beneficial and effective for body health. Some of the health benefits of pineapple include the following:

Nutrients

This delicious fruit contains nutrients such as protein, fiber, manganese, copper, thiamine, folate, potassium, magnesium, niacin, riboflavin, iron, and vitamins A, C, and K. Among the benefits of these nutrients, vitamin C helps improve immune system function, increase iron absorption, and support growth. Manganese also has antioxidant properties and aids in body growth and metabolism.

Antioxidants

Pineapple is rich in bound-type antioxidants that have longer-lasting effects. Antioxidants prevent oxidation in the body and inflammation that can lead to cancer and other chronic diseases. Oxidative stress is caused by the abundance of free radicals. Free radicals are unstable molecules that cause cell damage and are often linked to chronic inflammation, weakened immunity, heart disease, diabetes, and some cancers. Antioxidants such as flavonoids and phenolic compounds can protect heart health.

Improved Digestion

In countries like Brazil, pineapple is often eaten alongside meat and poultry due to its digestive benefits. A group of digestive enzymes called bromelain in pineapple helps digest meat more easily. Bromelain breaks down protein molecules so the small intestine can absorb them more easily.

This property is particularly beneficial for people with pancreatic insufficiency, as the pancreas cannot produce enough digestive enzymes, and pineapple can help compensate. The fiber in this fruit also promotes digestive health.

Reduced Cancer Risk

Pineapple compounds, including bromelain, can reduce cancer risk by minimizing oxidative stress and inflammation. Research has shown that bromelain can stop the growth of breast cancer cells and even cause cancer cell death.

Boosted Immune System

Pineapple has been used in traditional medicine for centuries. It contains vitamins like vitamin C, minerals, and various enzymes that enhance the immune system and reduce inflammation.

In a 2014 study, 98 healthy children consumed approximately 1 cup (140 grams) or 2 cups (280 grams) of pineapple daily. The risk of viral and bacterial infections was significantly lower among those who consumed pineapple. Additionally, children who consumed the most had nearly four times more disease-fighting white blood cells than others.

Reduced Arthritis Symptoms

The anti-inflammatory properties of bromelain help relieve pain in those with inflammatory arthritis, and bromelain supplements are effective in reducing lower back osteoarthritis. In a study of people with osteoarthritis, a digestive enzyme supplement containing bromelain relieved pain as effectively as common arthritis medications.

Accelerated Wound Healing After Surgery

Eating pineapple can shorten recovery time after surgery. Several studies have shown that bromelain helps reduce inflammation, swelling, bruising, and pain, often experienced after surgeries such as dental procedures.

Bromelain also speeds up muscle recovery after intense exercise by reducing inflammation around damaged muscle tissue.

Improved Heart Health

Pineapple contains potassium, an important mineral for heart health. The potassium in pineapple can help reduce and control blood pressure and lower the risk of heart disease.

Other health benefits of this fruit include:

Improved brain function and prevention of neurological diseases like Alzheimer’s

Reduced risk of type 2 diabetes, especially in at-risk individuals

Improved bone health

Lower risk of gout

Buying Pineapple Fruit

According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), individuals should consume 1,100 mg of vitamin C daily. One cup of chopped pineapple contains 85 mg of vitamin C, which can fulfill part of the body’s daily requirement.

To buy pineapple, choose a fruit with golden skin and a sweet aroma. If overripe, the skin will be brown and soft. If underripe, the skin will be light green and firm.

You can store this fruit at room temperature for a few days or in the refrigerator for a week. If you want to store it longer, freeze it. To do this, place pineapple slices in a zip-lock bag or a tightly sealed container, then store them in the freezer. This way, you can have fresh pineapple for several months.

Pineapple can be consumed in various ways, including fresh fruit, canned, or dried. It also pairs well with many foods, salads, and beverages.

Pineapple Sale Price

The sale price of pineapple is determined based on its quality and size, but in general, pineapple is considered an expensive fruit. This fruit is graded from level 2 to 6 based on quality and comes in both export and domestic (Iranian) types, with the export variety being more expensive.

Besides quality and size, production costs, transportation, labor, packaging, etc., affect the price of this fruit. Canned and dried pineapple products are more expensive than fresh fruit due to the use of equipment and machinery.

In addition to all these factors, being imported and currency rate fluctuations are two major factors that quickly affect fruit prices and cause price volatility and increases.

Online stores reduce costs by eliminating intermediaries and establishing direct communication between producers and buyers, allowing consumers to get the best fruit at the best price.

Wholesale Pineapple Distribution

The highest pineapple production in Iran is in the provinces of Tehran, East Azerbaijan, and Kurdistan. Pineapple is a popular fruit worldwide, and its import and export market is highly active. Iran’s produce is mostly exported to Gulf countries, Turkey, and Iraq. However, this fruit is also heavily imported into Iran. The biggest pineapple importers to Iran are Oman and the UAE. Therefore, this fruit is relatively expensive, and products made from it like canned goods, juice, and dried forms also have high costs.

Overall, the demand for pineapple is increasing, and considering the country’s potential for production, domestic cultivation can replace import costs. Exporting domestic produce can create employment and bring foreign currency into the country.
