Pineapple is an extremely popular fruit with a sweet and tangy taste. It is not only delicious but also rich in vitamins, minerals, and fiber, making it a very healthy fruit. In Bangladesh, especially in the Madhupur Garh and hilly lands, the soil is highly suitable for pineapple cultivation. With proper planning and investment, it can become a highly profitable agricultural venture.
Types of Pineapple
-
Sour Pineapple → Slightly astringent and tangy in taste, usually used for cooking or pickles.
-
Sweet Pineapple → Very delicious, best for direct consumption.
-
Mild Sweet-Sour Pineapple → Balanced in taste, preferred by most people.
-
Chemically-treated Pineapple → Often found in markets where chemicals are used to enhance color and taste. These are harmful to health, which is why cultivating natural and chemical-free pineapple is the safest and most profitable option.
In Bangladesh, pineapple has been popular for a long time. Generally, a few specific types are available in the market:
-
Kalenda (Calendar) → Large in size, sour in taste, sometimes sweet.
-
Jaldangi → Small in size, usually sweet, but sometimes sour.
Pineapple Cultivation
A pineapple plant generally bears fruit within 18–24 months. With proper care, the same plant can produce fruit multiple times.
We, whether middle-income employees, business owners, or anyone interested in agriculture, can collectively participate in pineapple cultivation.
-
For example:
-
10 bighas of land
-
10 to 20 people cultivating together
-
This way, expenses are shared and benefits are gained collectively
-
Through this, we ourselves can enjoy chemical-free pineapples while also supplying healthy and natural fruit to others.
