Topic: The diagram below shows the process of growing and preparing pineapples and

pineapple products.

The diagram shows the process of growing and preparing pineapples and pineapple
items. Overall, the process is divided into two main stages including growing
pineapples and processing the crops into drinks, canned foods or for export.
It is clear from the growing stage that the pineapples are grown with their crown
and positioned at a distance of 26 centimetres from each other. The crops are
grown with temperatures ranging from 23 to 30 degrees. After seven months,
ethylene is sprayed on the plants, which they continue to grow for another five
months until they are ready to harvest. At this stage, the pineapples should be 30
centimetres in height and 2 kilograms in weight.
Regarding the pineapples being prepared, the fruits from the harvest are washed
and then sorted according to their size. The small and medium sized pineapples are
cut off their top and peel. Next, the small pineapples are put into an extractor to
produce the juice, and the larger ones are cut into slices or smaller pieces, both of
which are then canned. The biggest pineapples are coated with wax and placed in
crates before being shipped for export.
