Countries by Pineapple production
Pineapple is a vital tropical fruit known for its sweet flavor and nutritional benefits, making it popular worldwide. It thrives in warm climates, typically in tropical and subtropical regions, providing economic and agricultural significance to many countries. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) stats, the data provided for the year 2023 presents the latest insights into global pineapple production as of 2025, highlighting important details on global trends and key contributors.
Global Pineapple Production
In 2023, the global production of pineapples reached approximately 29.6 million tonnes. Since 1961, when the recorded production was around 3.8 million tonnes, there has been a striking upward trend. Over the decades, global production has increased steadily, peaking at nearly 30 million tonnes by 2023. This growth underscores the growing demand for pineapples worldwide and the efficiency improvements in pineapple farming and distribution. Notably, production has seen a near eightfold increase from the beginning of the recorded data to 2023.
