2014: Week 35 at the Source (Week 37 in the market)

Living up to its reputation for optimal weather conditions, the first week of

September brought just the right combination of precipitation and sunshine to

our little slice of paradise in Costa Rica.

The week’s low rainfall and hot temperatures favored high brix development –

meaning excellent quality levels for our customers and sweeter, firmer

pineapples for processors.

Drier weeks ahead will allow for field work, soil preparation and planting to

resume at budgeted levels. Volume is also expected to begin increasing to

normal production levels into the first week of October.

Welcome September!
