During the summer, the demand for pineapple increases, prompting rural producers to boost their production with the help of the Frutificar credit line offered by the State Department of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Supply. The northern region of Rio de Janeiro, particularly São Francisco de Itabapoana, is the main pineapple producer, with the pearl type being the most cultivated variety. The Frutificar Program has provided over R$1,140,000.00 in loans, with each rural producer eligible for up to R$100,000.00.
