Prepared or preserved pineapples market in Indonesia

Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2023, the market volume for prepared or preserved pineapples in Indonesia expanded from 98.8 thousand tons to over 300 thousand tons. This growth was primarily driven by increased production capacity, anchored by major processors like PT Great Giant Pineapples which required thousands of tons of fresh pineapples daily for canning. Corporate social responsibility programs, such as those by Pupuk Indonesia through Pupuk Kujang, provided training and support to pineapple farmers, improving crop quality and yields, which bolstered the raw material supply for the processing industry.

The development of new pineapple varieties better suited for canning, notably the PK-1 cultivar, enhanced processing efficiency from 2022 onward. Regulatory measures, including the Ministry of Trade's guidelines for shopping centers and supermarkets, improved product distribution and market access. Rising domestic prices throughout the period indicated robust consumer demand, which was met by the expanding production base and wider retail availability.

Sustained export demand, particularly to markets in the Americas, Europe, and Asia, encouraged continuous investment in pineapple processing. Record national pineapple production, with Lampung province as the dominant contributor, ensured a steady flow of products for both export and domestic consumption, supporting the market's upward trajectory through 2023.
