Marketing

Most of the pineapple produced in Kerala state is being transported to the various states in India from Vazhakulam. The local administration at Vazhakulam (Manjalloor Panchayat) has built a market place solely for pineapple marketing during 1982 and it is considered as the biggest pineapple market in India. From here fresh pineapple is being sent to various states like Karnataka, Tamilnadu, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Andhra Pradesh, Delhi etc. mainly by lorry transport. Very limited quantity of fresh pineapple is being exported to Gulf countries in special packings.
