Fresh pineapple supplies in the country have increased
slightly about 20-30 percent this week, according
to our industry source. Fresh supplies, which
are currently available for harvest at this moment,
mostly come from Rayong, Chacheongsao and Ratchaburi
provinces.
The increase of fresh supplies is considered as
good news for Thai pineapple processors, with
an anticipation of gaining a strong demand from
both domestic and foreign markets. Meanwhile,
fresh supplies from Prachubkirikhan province,
the biggest producing area in the country, are
available for harvest merely in a small amount.
It is expected that winter crop, ready for harvest
during October - December, would be available
in a huge amount if planters avoid using chemicals
to force their fruits growing up faster due to
an attractive price. Pineapple supplies of winter
crop would reach peak level in November to December.
As regards to supplies' quality, the source said
it was still poor and fails from buyer's expectation.
A lot of pineapples become rotten due to the humidity
from rainfall and postponement of harvest. A large
amount of pineapple supplies were tainted with
black spots.
Moreover, the source noted that a lot of fresh
supplies has also tainted with green spots on
the flesh due to the current rainfall in pineapple
producing areas because trees had absorbed too
much water. Buyers and factories rejected these
poor qualities of fresh supplies. However, there
is no problem about the size of pineapple during
this week. |

Price
Pineapple price in this week is now trading at
4.80-4.90 baht per kilogram, dropped slightly
from 5 baht per kilogram last week due to the
increase of fresh supplies, compared with 5-5.80
baht per kilogram last year. However, our industry
source added that in some areas, which are far
from pineapple orchards, are now trading at 5-5.20
baht per kilogram due to transportation cost.
