V.S. Sunilkumar last week, it was decided that more pineapple might be procured in the future if the present drive did not boost prices.
As per a rough estimate, the fruit production this season is in the vicinity of 400,000 tons. Increasing acreage under pineapple in the wake of the falling rubber prices increased production. Interestingly, more farmers have taken up pineapple farming as yields are available within a short period of time as compared to other crops.
