The region of Ciego de Ávila has just exported to Europe even more pineapples.
Satisfactory results for the region of Ciego de Ávila, whose exports of pineapples to Europe totaled 1,100 tonnes, exceeding by 200 tonnes the volume shipped during the previous season.
This performance is due to the remarkable productivity of the MD-2 variety. Imported from Costa Rica this variety can achieve yields up to 100 tons per hectare or more, far exceeding other varieties.
The cultivated varieties (MD-2, Española Roja) produced 7,700 tons of pineapple in the region last year. Plantations with MD-2 will continue to increase and are expected to reach 2,000 hectares.
