I love the pineapple plantation because it is a farm that saves on space. The pineapple plant has a gap of only 1 meter away from each other. That means 1 hectare of land can be planted to 10,000 pineapple plants. Let’s say a pineapple costs $1 so that is clearly $10,000 when the pineapples are harvested and sold.
However, the pineapple is a slow grower unlike the papaya or banana that is fruiting in less than a year from planting. The pineapple takes 18 months from planting to harvesting. That 1.5 years is a long wait for the farmers. That is one reason why farm owners would prefer to plant pineapple only in the portion of their farm that is not very useful. If I could buy a hectare of land I would be planting half of the land to pineapple.
