Farmers initially prepare the land using plastic mulch, which warms the soil and helps the pineapple plants to grow effectively while minimizing weed competition. Remarkably, pineapple plants require minimal water, thriving on light, regular irrigation.
Upon harvesting, the pineapples first undergo a thorough washing process. Powerful machines using water jets ensure that the fruits are cleaned of any dirt or harmful bacteria. The selected, juicier pineapples then move on to be crushed using advanced machinery, efficiently extracting the vibrant juice while leaving behind no waste.
