the process shows how to produce pineapples

The diagram illustrates how pineapples are grown, harvested, and mass-produced for different purposes through a series of streamlined steps involving the help of both humans and machinery. From an overall perspective, it is readily apparent that a pineapple tree needs around one year to reach maturity and is ready to be harvested. It is also clear that the harvested pineapples are used for different purposes based on their sizes. Taking a closer look at the diagram, we can see that pineapple trees are grown in regions with an average temperature of between 28-30oC. The ideal distance between two straight furrows of pineapples is 26 cm. When the trees are seven months old, chemicals are sprayed to protect them from harmful insects, followed by a five-month period before they are full-grown and ripe. A typical ripe pineapple is around 30 cm long and weighs about 2 kg. On their arrival at the factory, the pineapples are washed in a giant water tank to remove chemical residues, dirt, bugs, and impurities. After that, the cleaned pineapples are categorized/classified into three different groups according to their sizes and grades. The pineapples in the smallest group then have their crowns chopped off and their skins peeled before being juiced in an extractor, producing pineapple juice. The middle-sized pineapples also have their crowns and skins removed before being cut into bite-sized portions, which are later put in cans. The last group of pineapples is covered in wax to preserve them for longer, packaged in baskets, and shipped to different countries by freight ship
