The global canned pineaple industry is experiencing significant fluctuations in its main producing markets, creating a complex outlook for the B2B sector Our detailed analysis reveals current trends and projections for the coming months.
Thailand
In Thailand, the world’s leading producer, we observe a significant reduction in production, with a final harvest of 645,000 tons, representing a 5% decline compared to the 682,330 tons in 2023. The Thai market is entering its low production period, which will last until the summer harvest in April/May. A critical factor to consider is the high current price of raw materials, ranging between 13.5-14 baht/kg, which directly impacts production costs.
Philippines and Indonesia
The outlook in other key markets also presents challenges. The Philippines, another key player in the sector, is experiencing a notable shortage that is likely to persist until mid-2025, limiting sourcing options in this market. Meanwhile, Indonesia remains focused on manufacturing and shipping the contracts established for 2024.
Kenya
In Africa, Kenya emerges as a market to watch closely. The variations in the pineapple harvest during December have shifted the focus to February and March, traditionally the most productive months of the year. Projections indicate that total volumes for processing in 2025 will remain at levels similar to those of 2024.
These market dynamics suggest the importance of establishing diversified sourcing strategies and maintaining strong business relationships with suppliers in different regions. Anticipation and strategic planning will be crucial to ensure a stable supply in a market characterized by the current volatility.
We will continue to closely monitor these trends to provide our business partners with the most up-to-date information, enabling them to make informed decisions in their purchasing and inventory planning operations.
