Pineapple Huaymun

"Pineapple Huaymun" is a Smooth Cayenne ⁽¹⁾ pineapple that is sweeter and more delicious than general varieties of Smooth Cayenne pineapple produced in other areas of Thailand.

The variety and cultivation method for Pineapple Huaymun entails using seedlings obtained by separating from locally grown Pineapple Huaymun (Smooth Cayenne variety).
　The shipping standard is a sugar content of at least 12°Bx.

The producing area is hilly with scattered small hills. The mild climate, with a mean temperature of 27°C, and the well-drained soil, containing sediments and sand washed down from higher lands are suitable for pineapple production.
　The area has a successful history of raising pineapples with high sugar content achieved by using only plants that originated from Smooth Cayenne pineapple brought into the producing area in the 1970s and continuing dividing and cultivating their ratoons (suckers).
