Pineapple Farmers Decry Poor Markets Jaire in his field - pic by Hastings Jimani Pineapple farmers in Mulanje continue struggling to secure better markets for their pineapples forcing them to sell their fruits to unscrupulous vendors. For example, Davis Jaire, from Nande village says that he has 11 pineapple farms but despite investing heavily in production of pineapples, he gets meagre profit from this farming. “During pineapple pick period between December and March, prices go as low as K100 per pineapple and we just sell to get rid of them as we fear they might rot while in garden, but honestly we make losses year in year out,” said Jaire.
