As it is indigenous to the tropics, the crop requires areas where the climate is warm, humid and free from extreme temperatures (25 °C being optimal). These areas have a great potential for pineapple production.

Planting is done by hand, with or without the aid of a planting machine. Use of the latter results in uniform, neat plantations.
