 Description:   Thailand is the world's leading producer of pineapples, though the fruit is not native to Southeast Asia. As land and labor costs rose in temperate zones such as Hawaii, production shifted to tropical climates, which had lots of land, low labor costs, and little in the way of environmental protection laws. The Thai government has helped the pineapple export industry grow by creating investment incentives and liberal trade policies to attract foreign investors.

Most of the 2.8 million tones of pineapple produced annually is processed, canned, packaged and exported overseas. As of 2000, Thailand had 17% of the world pineapple production market, and over 40% of the exports of canned pineapple.

In contrast to the Philippines, where production is dominated by multinational corporations, 95% of Thailand's pineapple is grown on small, privately owned farms ranging from 1-5 hectares in size. In total, about 100,000 hectares spread over 13 provinces are devoted to growing pineapples, with concentrations in the east and west coasts of the Gulf of Thailand. These small growers then sell their harvest to a processing plant. Big business relies on this subcontracted labor to supply the pineapple to be processed, and can generally fix whatever price they want as farmers have few options to whom to sell their harvest.
