The Pineapple Operations Were Limited Due to the Holidays in the Philippines in W52

In W52, there were many days when farm operations were controlled and limited to prioritizing tasks in the Philippines. The farm workers will only focus on the degreening of the fruits and “Forcing Operations” on areas planned for the 2023 harvest. Strict guidelines are followed to ensure the fruit is fresh and the proper color for the W1 harvest. Because of a market holiday in Japan, the shipping to that key market will not take place for W1. Since more supplies had previously shipped before the World Cup season, other markets like China and the Middle East had fewer orders.
