3 Amazing Benefits of Pineapple You Didn’t Know

It’s yellow, it’s sweet, and you have probably seen a square and yellow sponge live in it under the sea. It is a classic tropical sensation known as pineapple!

Pineapples are a fruit that originally came from the Americas. It arrived into many areas in the Asia Pacific a few centuries ago. Despite that, it has become an exotic fruit grown in many tropical countries in the regions, especially Indonesia.

Today, many people enjoy pineapple and the fruit worth billions of US dollars globally. For example, the global pineapple juice market alone reached USD 2.37 billion in 2021. That number is expected to increase up to 2.54 billion US dollars by the end of 2022.

This is not even mentioning the production and sales of fresh pineapples, canned pineapples, and various products made of pineapples.

With all these facts on the table, let’s find out more about the 3 amazing benefits of pineapple that you may not know.

Tastes aside, pineapples are also one of the healthiest exotic fruit you can eat. Loaded with B vitamins, vitamin C, fiber, and minerals like manganese, pineapple provides ideal nutrients for the body’s immune system, metabolism, digestion, and against inflammation.

To put simply, the various health benefits of pineapple, as Healthline Media explains, are:

• Helps with weight loss;
• Reduces inflammations;
• Supports healthy bone;
• Prevents oxidation;
• Reduces cancer, diabetes, and heart disease risks;
• Improves eyesight; and
• Reduces risks of Alzheimer’s disease. 

2. Bright Futures for Indonesian Pineapple Business 

Let us get to the point, business is booming where pineapple is concerned.

According to Statista, Indonesian pineapple production has more than doubled from 1.4 million tons in 2016 to 2.92 million tons in 2021. Similarly, Indonesian pineapple export value has also nearly doubled throughout that same 5-year period from around 190 million US dollars to a whopping 336 million US dollars

In fact, Indonesia ranked 4th as the biggest pineapple producer in the world in 2019 and ranked 2nd in the Asia Pacific by 2020, beating other pineapple-producing giants like China, India, and Thailand.

Indonesia Investments also shared that Indonesia has been successfully exporting its pineapples to various places around the world, especially the United States and various European countries like the Netherlands, Spain, and Italy.

Aside from trading fresh pineapple as a commodity, there are also many business opportunities in the trade of pineapple-based products.

From the sales of food products like canned pineapples and pineapple jams to non-edible products like skincare products, the benefits of pineapple for the future of your business are as bright as the color of the fruit itself!

3. Great Opportunities Awaits Local Pineapple Farmer

Indonesia is a tropical country blessed with a lot of warm temperatures, exposure to sunlight, as well as possessing a rich and fertile soil. All of these criteria mean that Indonesia provides the ideal opportunity for quality pineapples to easily grow.

It is perhaps no wonder why Indonesia is a global pineapple producer with such a geographical advantage.

However, the potential for Indonesia to become the number 1 global pineapple producer will not become reality without enough support in the business. This is because Statistics Indonesia (BPS) data shows that about 87.3% of Indonesian pineapple production in 2021 still mostly comes from Sumatra and Java regions.

This shows that there are still collaboration opportunities between businesses, farmers, and the government to develop pineapple farming in Indonesia. This collaboration effort is important if Indonesia wants to achieve the dream of becoming the top global pineapple producer.
