Local logistics is well-established for pineapples because Costa Rica has been exporting this product in large volumes for many years. However, there are unpaved roads for some packing houses. Major ports include port Limon and Caldera, which are located in the northern part of Costa Rica. On average, pineapple farms are located 180km away from port Limon and 140km from port Caldera. Trucking cost is around USD 650, which is cheaper than that of Mexico (USD2,000)
