• Put in that water before you transport them either by air or other  transport means , if not refrigerate them,
• The water  have to be disinfected against the pests and other microbes ,
• The selection  of pineaples will depend on weights and quality
• The pesticides used for quality conservation are :
  • Dowicide A: 7 Grams per litter of water – sprayed to the pineapple to maintain its color and prevent any disease,
  • Wax: it contain polyethylene/paraffin compostion. This protects the pinaple against the loss of juice
