According to industry estimates, due to extreme hot and dry weather, pineapple planting in Thailand will be less than 1 million tons in summer. At the International Food and Beverage Fair, Thai industry executives said that the current low rainfall and temperature of 33-34 degrees Celsius put pressure on Pineapple plantation irrigation. If there is no water for six months, the plants will run out. "We hope there will be as good winter crops this year as last year."

 

At present, the standard price of pineapple raw materials is 10-12 baht/kg, and 15-16 baht/kg for high-quality mature pineapple.

 

FOB Bangkok offers 24 x 20oz canned pineapple with sugar and water spindles at $16 per box, which is about $0.50 cheaper than the price in October-November last year. Food and beverage canned pineapple with 6x A10 sugar water FOB Bangkok quoted $19.50 per box.

 

Thai executives commented that the European Union imposed import duties on Thai goods, which hindered Thailand's export of canned pineapples to Europe. But he will offer to interested European buyers at the exhibition to compete for profits in the European market with sellers from China and Vietnam. He said the main trading partners are the United States, the Middle East, Africa, China, Russia and Ukraine.
