Pineapple Production in Costa Rica
While Costa Rica produces coffee, bananas, and other short-cycle crops, other than tourism, year-round pineapple production is the most vital piece of Costa Rica’s economy. In fact, Costa Rica is the largest producer and exporter of pineapples in the world. No less than 90% of the pineapples consumed in the United States come from this small country of just over 5 million people.
Costa Rica is A World Full of Pineapples
How can this be, that a country almost 1/200th the size of another, supplies almost the entirety of one of the most popular tropical fruits?
The answer is the climate; Cost Rica’s rainy, humid nature makes it the perfect place for pineapples to grow. Many of the pineapple plantations in Costa Rica are strategically located in the valleys and regions that receive the most rainfall. The ideal farming conditions last all year long, in fact, while the children are trick or treating and the first frosts are arriving in the United States, Costa Rica is deep in its “summer” season.
Costa Rica has the most suitable Season
The majority of the world is used to experiencing four seasons throughout the year: spring, summer, fall, and winter. However, as is the case with many Neotropic regions, Costa Rica only enjoys two distinct seasons.
The dry season, characterized by little to no rainfall, is sunny and warm. This is the most popular, and most expensive, time to visit. Still, the air can remain quite humid and even in the driest stretches of the year, Costa Rica’s pineapple production is going full steam ahead. If you’re looking to avoid a high chance of rain, December through April is the season for you.
Although pineapples are in season year-round in Costa Rica, there is an increase in pineapple production in the fall! The rainy season or the “green” season lasts from May until November. The name for this time of year comes from the bright and healthy vegetation that thrives during this season. The “green” season also defines a new beginning for many farmers and gardeners. So, don’t be alarmed next time you see a pineapple on the Thanksgiving table, apart from being an age-old sign of hospitality, the late fall crop is actually some of the sweetest fruits of the year!
