I worked as an intern for Dole many, many, many years ago. I got to experience this first hand as well as the Banana farms. Make no mistake about it. It is work. We each had a manageable quota to meet each day. Your day started with sunrise and ended with sunset. The farmers I worked with constantly made jokes about the boss and tractor operators weight all day long. That was hilarious. As a kid who grew up on a West Texas ranch, farming was an experience I will never forget and made quite a few life long friends while I was down there. Really enjoyed it. Its really a pitty programs like that don't exist anymore, really makes you appreciate where your food comes from before it is in a shiny lit up grocery store display.
I was directed here from a meme I saw on facebook that said pineapples are grown from the ground and not from trees. I just learned something new, me and my kids!! Knowledge is power!! lol
+Luke Hartung - Yea me too, and I have seen a Video that is growing from START (SEED), it takes 3+ years to produce the FIRST Fruit. In this Video, they are actually CHEAT... The Sucker from the Mother Plant helps the new Fruit to come out faster (In this case 14-16 Months). But if you ever start a Brand New Pineapple or from Seeds, it takes like 3+ years to get the FIRST Fruit :////
I didn't know commercial pineapple plants only produce one pineapple each. This is a lot of work! Also pineapples cannot be too sweet 😄. Thanks for making this informative video :-).
We learned that the leaves collect water. We were eating pineapples and my son asked if they grow from a seed. Thank you for this excellent video that showed the process. Those workers must have very strong backs to be working bending over for so many hours a day. Thank you for your hard work!
They can be grown from seed too !! Tiny little seeds inside the 🍍 hard to germinate tho easier to take the top off a🍍 and put it in water it will sprout roots then plant !!
Thanks Dole (Department Of Labor And Employment) I started to plant 4 pineapples beacuse of you now they are 6 months old I wish my parents ordered more pineapples to plant lol
I am growing a 3 year old pineapple plant which has a pineapple coming out of the center (of the plant) I live in Alberta, Canada and am growing the plant in my sunroom.
Thank you for posting. Very helpful. I just grew my first pineapples. Picked the third one tonight. Very excited! It's interesting to see how the professionals do it.
Part of the sour inflection mixed with the sweet is what makes it so good! I couldn't eat a pineapple if it didn't have some kind of tartness and that's why I stay away from the canned versions.
As a lady from an African, Ugandan village I have learned something new today. No one knows everything, I am really surprised that there are people who thought that pineapples grow from trees. I am not belittling anyone because I know that most people here know so much than I do but this caught me off guard.
Dole and all the other large companies pay the workers hardly anything, it's pure slavery but they won't tell you that ofcourse. Here in the Netherlands just last month on a well known tv program they showed the insight of the banana industry which Dole, Chiquita etc are famous for as well and they found out why bananas (the most favourite fruit of all in the west) are so cheap in the large supermarkets. 99 eurocent a kilo or even less! It's unreal, so my guess is that the same stuff can be said for pineapples.
I'm so fascinated by this kinda stuff. I've just been slicing and dicing my ass off. I done ate two pineapples this weekend along w/ a medley of other fruits.
Hola - My name is Alvino from Bakersfield Cali and saw you for the first time. I was looking how too plant a Mango. Thanks, Very much. I learned a lot from your site. Thanks a lot!!! And your Cute More videos????????
I grew 3 one time in panama just for kicks and they only cost $1 at the local market nearly 365 days a year. They were ok sweet not the best just ok, I think it was about 18 months. I bought pineapples regularly and laughed at myself regularly about it.
I visited the Dole Finca in Daytonia, CR. Wanted to see about using organic seaweed fertilizers. Seems many planes spraying? Yet better to have directly applied in the ground, with seaweed formula :) Back in Canada now. Can't want to get back to Costa Rica/Panama :)
I’m grateful for these videos. I wanted to know if precut, Dole pineapples in plastic containers, are they pasteurized or processed? I don’t think it is natural for them to last that long.
0:13 Actually aggregate and multiple fruits are different and pineapples are multiple fruits along with figs Strawberries are considered aggregate though
Wait.. I’m taking a biology course and learning about types of fruits. A pineapple is a multiple fruit bc it developed from multiple carpels of multiple flowers fused together. While an aggregate fruits developed from many carpels on a SINGLE flower like blackberries
Dole is a trading company, it is not owner of fields. Try to buy directly from producers and incentive local production. If you prefer a trading company who can solve your import/export issues, better choose once from that country.
-"A skilled worker can plant up to 5000 pineapples a day!" that's about one plant every 5th second, thats not skill, that's backbreaking slavery, i wonder what they pay their workers.

dang, I appreciate pineapples more after knowing how much work is put into a single fruit.

Jod Bronson wow that's such a long time -_-
6 years to fruit for some plants is very fking long, 3 years? That is extremely early
Jod Bronson also, they aren't cheating... They're just doing what most people who have pineapples would do..
+The Diamond King // GLaDOSTDK - You misses my points :((((( - Forget the CHEATING and read the rest of my post, LOL
yeah i fell like i will never complain about the price tag now. lets just hope the planters receive a fair pay for the job compared to sales!

Per stem but can regrow forever
You will get more off that plant it will make tons of shoots u can lat grow or break off and plant !! Most Beutifull look flower !!!

I grow pineapple plants in Germany, over winter in my tropical warm house, from mid-May to mid-September outside in the garden.
I just knew "if the temperature range is too cool the pineapples taste sour, if the range is too hot they taste too sweet"
Thanks for sharing 🙏
Absolutely amazing!! Thank you to all the people working the field!
To those wondering how much is 65 to 95 in retarded unit, it's 18 to 35 celsius degrees.
John Titor 😂😂😂😂👌
Thanks Dole (Department Of Labor And Employment) I started to plant 4 pineapples beacuse of you now they are 6 months old I wish my parents ordered more pineapples to plant lol

who knew all this work is put in to bringing a nice ripe and juicy pineapple to my plate. mmmmmm
How a plant can grow such amazing fruit like pineapple is pure magic.
Thank you for posting. Very helpful. I just grew my first pineapples. Picked the third one tonight. Very excited! It's interesting to see how the professionals do it.
Waiting on mine it's been about 2years now any time soon !!
I would LOVE to work in that farm, everything about it seems just great. the cutting down leaves part especially!
Wow, that is incredible, farmers are so smart, I love Dole.
It is very educational and DOLE has the correct Agronomic Practice and also provide a decent livelihood to many people.
Nice video and very well done. Those workers must have strong backs and endurance. I hope they are fairly compensated.
+Joseph Stokes Here's a video that talks about that: ruclips.net/video/vpJHgXaPzFA/видео.html
I viewed the video! Thanks! It too was well done.
And here I am, watching a video about pineapples.
hehehehehe
I don't even own a pineapple.
live and learn just like they say in witcher game :)..
i dont think ill take a pineapple for granted next time i eat one...
rsiku right!
I had been meaning to speak to you about that, and I'm glad that I don't have to now.
hi, dole my question is how many month the pineapple start to apply fertilizer and what kind of fertilizer is needed thank you so much
this video is awesome*!!! I love pineapples even more now 💖
How can a pineapple ever be too sweet?
82Brightstar if anything it can be to sour
Never 2 sweet
They can get this heavy, sickly sweetness that is too much.
Part of the sour inflection mixed with the sweet is what makes it so good! I couldn't eat a pineapple if it didn't have some kind of tartness and that's why I stay away from the canned versions.
There's a variety of pineapple that too sweet for you to handle.Its called Natal
I went to the one in Hawaii!

I am not belittling anyone because I know that most people here know so much than I do but this caught me off guard.
You can use the spiky top of a pineapple to grow a whole new plant that will fruit in 2-3 years. Pineapples grow in tropical climates, like Uganda.
Today I learned something new. Pineapples don't grow on trees.
You fumb
i thought they did too lol
who tf told you that pineapples grow on trees???
😂😂😂
@@betamax9923 usually the people who make such comments are the ones trying to hide the fact that they didn't know either.
Fantastic video, very informative. I learned a great deal. That's tough work planting a quarter acre a day!
Holy crap it takes along time and a lot of work to grow pineapples I'm surprised they're not more expensive
Dole and all the other large companies pay the workers hardly anything, it's pure slavery but they won't tell you that ofcourse.

do they have pineapple farms in Florida
1 pineapple is like 3 dollars in my country, they are pretty expensive
I'm so fascinated by this kinda stuff. I've just been slicing and dicing my ass off. I done ate two pineapples this weekend along w/ a medley of other fruits.
My Favorite Fruit!
Wow. Never thought about how a pineapple grew. I wouldn't have thought that they grew out the ground or by themselves on one plant tho. Cool.
Where can I get the knife slashing job? It looks like a perfect stress reliever lol
Hola - My name is Alvino from Bakersfield Cali and saw you for the first time. I was looking how too plant a Mango. Thanks, Very much. I learned a lot from your site. Thanks a lot!!! And your Cute More videos????????
+jim elwood you're*
That's great! because you're reaping all the health benefits pineapple juice has to offer.
Hey Dole, how come you don't grow the super sweet, low acid, white pineapple?
This is the funnest plant to Grow !!! Pots or in the ground !!
I always thought bed preparation came before deep plowing.
Never before felt such an urge to have a pineapple farm 🙃
4:22 This the Matutum volcano in Polomolok, Philippines....another enormous Dole plantation.
I thought they grew under the sea.... XD
Sponge bob is a great show;-;
nikki huynh lol
The pinapple fell from a boat
I thought bed preparation comes before deep plowing.
Ethan Nino I lol'd
One worker plants 5000 plants a day???????????? Omg I'll never complain about my job again!!!!
At probably less than a penny for every ten plants
With all that care I'm jealous of pineapples
my brother looks great Thank you for growing my friends and family
3:50 - 5000 pineapples by hand a day!? - omg my back hurts
+HKLesterol mine too!
Yeah
Well i think they get paid alot hope
@@kiersalvo2176 shit wage 100%

Great info👌
THANK YOU FARM WORKERS!!!!!!!!!!
Please who's tell me how I can arive to here and work with them I love this job
Does take a lot of work but its worth it after planting and taking care of it
"After each harvest the workers are chained up and fed, ready for the next season!!"
I love Dole Pineapples and Bananas. I love Dole fruit juice. I love Dole.
Me too!
wow, what a laborious work
I’m grateful for these videos. I wanted to know if precut, Dole pineapples in plastic containers, are they pasteurized or processed? I don’t think it is natural for them to last that long.
I love all tropical fruits.
very nice video i like so much.
Thank you Dole for this wonderful video. very informative.
Incredible so much work thanks be to GOD

WOW.....I want a pineapple now🍍
Ich baue Ananas Pflanzen in Deutschland an, über Winter in meinem tropischen Warmhaus , von Mitte Mai bis Mitte September draußen im Garten.
glad I added calcium sand to the compost soil now
keep up the good work you where very helpful.
They are an amazing fruit. So much liquid and sugar.
They refer to it here as an inflorescence but I've always heard of aggregate fruit referred to as sorosis.
My back hurts watching haha
I've had only one pineapple in my life that was sweet, never too sweet. Most of them are sour or simply tasteless.
how did this get on my recommended list?
Ananas yetiştirmede ilaçlama nasıl oluyor. Kaçıncı ayda başlar .nasıl bir ilaç kullanılır..
anyone that rode the pineapple express at dole plantation in hawaii recognizes this voice
Wait.. I’m taking a biology course and learning about types of fruits. A pineapple is a multiple fruit bc it developed from multiple carpels of multiple flowers fused together. While an aggregate fruits developed from many carpels on a SINGLE flower like blackberries
4:22 this picture looks familiar. its in south cotabato phillipines!
Farm work looks like fun :)

How could they possibly be too sweet ?
Liberty309
pineapples are among the fruits that have a LOT of sugar
Being to sweet they will start to Rott faster because they tend to naturally covert sugar to alcohol
OmNomNomNomNom
Pineapple can neva be too sweet :-) yumyum :-)
***** yeah
IsleofMAN that just gave me a new idea for and alcohol
Please show how pineapple juice is made?
God is truly awesome to have created the Pineapple.
-"A skilled worker can plant up to 5000 pineapples a day!" that's about one plant every 5th second, thats not skill, that's backbreaking slavery, i wonder what they pay their workers.
Performance cycling is backbreaking slavery :))
Kaj Ahlstedt a modern form of slavery.. And this DOLE corporation are the only one getting richer
10 hr workday
5000/10 = 500
500/60 = 8.3
8.3/60 = around 0.13
Makes 0.13 pineapples per second, so around 1 every 9 seconds.
Still ridiculous lol
It's 60/8.3, not 8.3/60. Which means a pineapple every 7.23 seconds.
it's a lie I've met someone who does this for a living and they plant at least 2500 a day, and believe me or not but the guy has a Ferrari
I put my pineapple topper in water to root and my leaves changed from beautiful green to brown is my plant dead or still good?
What ever they are doing the pineapple is yummy
Magnificient cheers
Best sweet pineapple I ever had was bought from China town in Hawaii. 👍
I love pineapple and there Perfect to grow in Florida yay :)
Why pineapple growing with leaves on top if it is cluster of flower well amazing
