For customers in the northern hemisphere, the sight of a pineapple fruit on the supermarket shelf in the depths of winter is not unfamiliar. But have you ever thought about the work that goes into ensuring this tropical fruit is available all year round?

Many pineapples are shipped from Costa Rica, which being equatorial can grow the native crop at any time of the year. Picked fruit is tested, then packaged and cooled within 16 hours before being shipped in state-of-the-art refrigerated Maersk containers, ensuring the fruit is still fresh when it hits shelves thousands of miles away. Without these very high-tech logistics most consumers would not be able to enjoy a pineapple on demand.
