Tridge offers high-quality MD2 Pineapple sourced from Ivory Coast.


Ivory Coast is ranked as the second-largest pineapple exporting country in Africa behind Ghana. Pineapple export from the Ivory Coast to the European market decreased significantly from 213,000 tons in 1999 to around 30,000 tons in 2018. The drastic drop in export quantity is due in large part to the introduction of a new variety, Golden Sweet or MD2 pineapple into the market. This variety, produced in Latin America, is better appreciated by European consumers than the Smooth Cayenne variety that has been produced in the Ivory Coast for decades. In recent years, the revitalization of the pineapple sector has been initiated by the introduction of the MD2 variety into the Ivory Coast.
