It was observed that the production of pineapple in a commercial or large scale basis involves various operations from the land preparation to harvesting. Crowns were the common planting material used. The varieties used are Clone 74 for processing and Sweet 16 for fresh fruit market. The planting distance was 7.9 inches between plants, 20 inches between rows and 32 inches between double rows, resulting to 74,100 plants per hectare.The total estimated cost incurred for the production of pineapple was Php 191,763 per hectare. The farm gate price of large sized fruits was Php 12 per piece and Php 7 per piece for medium sized fruits. Assuming that 5% of 74,100 pineapple plants didn?t bear fruit, the gross income was Php 774,345. Deducting total expenses, the net returns/income was Php 582,582.
