In 2009,Brazilproduced 2,206,492tonnes, closely followed by thePhilippines, which produced 2,198,497 tonnes, andThailand, 1,894,862 tonnes. Total world production in 2009 was 19,488,240 tonnes. The primary exporters of fresh pineapples in 2001 wereCosta Rica, 322,000 tons;Cte d'Ivoire, 188,000 tons; and the Philippines, 135,000 tons.[25]Since 2000, the most common fresh pineapple fruit found in U.S. and European supermarkets is a low-acid hybrid that was developed in Hawaii in the early 1970s.[citation needed]In commercial farming, flowering can be induced artificially, and the early harvesting of the main fruit can encourage the development of a second crop of smaller fruits. Once removed during cleaning, the top of the pineapple can be planted in soil and a new plant will grow. Slips and suckers are planted commercially.
