Harvest and Processing
Vietnam’s fertile regions such as Tien Giang, Bình Phuoc, and Tay Nguyen provide excellent growing conditions with tropical climate and alluvial soil. The peak harvest season runs from March to July, though pineapples can be cultivated year-round. Freshly harvested pineapples are peeled, cored, and cut into desired formats. GMG applies IQF (Individual Quick Freezing) technology to preserve the fruit’s natural sweetness, color, and nutritional integrity, while preventing texture loss and oxidation.
