- *Temperature:* 20°C–30°C
- *Rainfall:* 1000–1500 mm/year (good drainage essential)
- *Elevation:* 0–800 m above sea level
- *Sunlight:* Full sun; shade reduces fruit quality.

🍍. *Soil Requirements*
- Well-drained sandy loam or loamy soils
- pH: 4.5 – 6.5

- Select healthy, disease-free planting material

🍍. *Planting*
- *Spacing:* 60 cm x 30 cm or double-row system (60 x 30 x 90 cm)

- Yield: *40–60 tons/hectare* (under good management)

🍍. *Post-Harvest Handling*
- Clean and grade fruits
- Transport in ventilated crates
- Can be processed into juice, jam, dried pineapple, or canned

🍍. *Economics (Approximate – per hectare)*
- *Establishment cost:* Moderate
