The baby pineapples are of the Victoria variety from Mauritius, "The market for mini-pineapples is an independent market, and is completely separate from the normal pineapple market. We sell this product to wholesalers throughout (Eastern) Europe. Although people do eat the mini-pineapples, they are still being used mainly for decoration. The biggest difference between the variety from Mauritius and the variety from South Africa is that the core of the pineapple from Mauritius can be consumed. This is why BUD Holland mainly concentrates on the variety from Mauritius," says Patrick.
