Nigeria is the largest producer of Pineapple in Africa and the 7th largest in the world, with Costa Rica, Brazil, Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia and India being first six. Pineapple farming is indeed a great goldmine in Nigeria as the fruit can be processed into Jams, syrups, dried fruit chips, e.t.c which can be used locally or exported.


How to tap into this Goldmine

Been a key player in the commercial production of pineapples in Nigeria with over 100,000 acres of pineapple under cultivation in various communities in Benin City, Edo State, Nigeria, KONKONEX FARM LIMITED Nigeria – a fully registered Agribusiness company in Nigeria is poised to provide the following services to encourage other investors to key into this goldmine:
(1) Provide over 1,000 acres of available land for lease.
(2) Provide planting materials(suckers) for the investor.
(3) Provide a trained agronomic consultant who will provide expert advise.



It is worthy of note that Nigeria is an ideal country for the production of pineapple due to the favorable weather conditions and large market(chataceterised by a population of about 180 million people) for the fruit as well as its processed products.

Nigeria has a huge and untapped market potential in the sale and use of processed pineapple products as we currently import concentrates(used for the production of fruit juice and sweetners) from South Africa(the second largest producer in Africa) and with the entry of SHOPRITE into the huge Nigerian retail market, canned South African Pineapples additionally creates a sleek entry into the Nigerian market.

Despite being the seventh producer of pineapples in the world, Nigeria
ranks thirty-ninth on world export market, hence the trade holds nice
potential with an expected upward growth curve. Hence investors can also key into producing pineapples for export, this is an untapped market that can be keyed into as Nigeria has great potential for producing good pineapple products.

For those who will like to key into the market as pineapple processors, we expect to have a large quantity of pineapple fruit for sale in August, 2018.

Our Pineapple fruits are sweet cayenne variety and they are highly
suitable for making fruit juices, jams, and dried fruit chips.

Fulani people always spoil pineapples before they are ripe in our place. Very frustrating!

So sad at reading this, I suggest having a dialogue with the main actors(who mange the herders, not the herders themselves) and try to plant repelling shrubs around the perimeter of your farm. These should deter them from encroaching on your pineapples!

Sir I read your post with interest.

There are no so many stuff on pineapple on nairaland .
Please can you let us know how theft relating to pineapple can be tackled.

Also, getting the special laborer for weeding is a big challenge. How do one tackle that ?

It also be said that it is easier getting it from Seme

So what is the market potential ?
