The export value of pineapples from Johor, since the beginning of the year, has reached RM1 billion. According to Johor Agriculture, Agro-based Industry and Rural Development Committee chairman Datuk Zahari Sarip, this concerned a total production of 217 tons. That latest figure exceeds the value of exports for last year, which was approximately RM600 million.
