Pineapples are available year-round allowing to set up sourcing programs on a weekly basis. Production might decrease during the months of August through October. Bad weather conditions might also affect availability.
Harvest period: All year long, with the peak season from March to July. Harvest is conducted twice a year in Costa Rica.
Export Season: Exports peak in May and November when natural flowering occurs and the market is saturated with pineapples, at drastically reduced prices, even below the breakeven point. NDF also happens during October and November and it skews the timeline set by the yearly program. For example, when NDF happens in January instead of December, then the peak season may be in June and July.
