Description:	Pineapple is one of the tropical fruits in greatest demand on the international market, with world production in 2004 of 16.1 million mt. Of this total, Asia produces 51% (8.2 million mt), with Thailand (12%) and the Philippines (11%) the two most productive countries. America and Agrica contribute 32% and 16% of world production, respectively, with Brazil (9%) and Nigeria (6%) also being major producers (FAO, 2006). A major part of world production is processed as canned products and juices, and about 25% goes to the fresh fruit market 9Souza et al., 1999). In Brazil, pineapple is grown in most states and there has been a significat increase in production in recent years.
