Of course, most of the Pinaple selling in Bangalore come from Kerala. There is a market for Pinaple in central Kerala near my house. It is Vazhakkulam near Thodupuzha/Muvattupuzha. Now the cultivation has come down considerable because the market is very inconsistent. Mostly, pineapple is cultivated as inter-crop during first 3 years of Rubber planting.
