About Pinapple
The pineapple spread from its original area (central South America) through cultivation, and by the time of Christopher Columbus (1492) it grew throughout South and Central America, southern Mexico and the Caribbean (West Indies). Columbus may have taken a sample back to Europe. The Spanish introduced it into the Philippines, Hawaii (introduced in the early 19th century, first commercial plantation 1886) and Guam. The fruit was successfully cultivated in European hothouses, and pineapple pits, beginning in 1720. Commonly cultivated varieties include Red Spanish, Hilo, Smooth Cayenne, St. Michael, Kona Sugarloaf, Natal Queen, and Pernambuco. Canned pineapple is almost always Smooth Cayenne.
Pineapple cultivation in the USA began in the early 1900s on Hawaii. Dole and Del Monte began growing pineapple on the island of Oahu in 1901 and 1917, respectively. Maui Pineapple Company began pineapple cultivation on the island of Maui in 1909. In 2006, Del Monte announced its withdrawal from pineapple cultivation in Hawaii, leaving only Dole and Maui Pineapple Company in Hawaii as the USA's largest growers of pineapples. Maui Pineapple Company markets its Maui Gold® brand of pineapple and Dole markets its Hawaii Gold® brand of pineapple.
In the USA in 1986, the Pineapple Research Institute was dissolved and its assets were divided between Del Monte and Maui Land and Pineapple. Del Monte took 73-114, which it dubbed MD-2, to its plantations in Costa Rica, found it to be well-suited to growing there, and launched it publicly in 1996. (Del Monte also began marketing 73-50, dubbed CO-2, as Del Monte Gold). In 1997, Del Monte began marketing its Gold Extra Sweet pineapple, known internally as MD-2. MD-2 is a hybrid that originated in the breeding program of the now-defunct Pineapple Research Institute in Hawaii, which conducted research on behalf of Del Monte, Maui Land & Pineapple Company, and Dole.
Southeast Asia dominates world production: in 2007 Thailand produced 2.7 million tons, the Philippines 2.62 million tons while in the Americas, Brazil 1.61 million tons. Total world production in 2007 was 16.2 million tons. The primary exporters of fresh pineapples in 2007 were Costa Rica, 422,000 tons; Côte d'Ivoire, 288,000 tons; and the Philippines, 235,000 tons. In commercial farming, flowering can be artificially induced and the early harvesting of the main fruit can encourage the development of a second crop of smaller fruits.

- about documents (guidelines)

To be able to proceed, we need in all cases a detailed LOI issued from the buyer or from the seller. This is not because we love paperwork. This is to save time and to work efficiently.
A professional LOI contains ALL informations which are needed to get a professional and fast response.

Immediatly it is clearly to be seen,

-who wants to buy or sell what (including specification),

-under which conditions

-in which amount(s)

-for which (target-)price

-with which procedure

-under which payment terms

-whith which payment instrument(s)

-for which destination (of which origin)

-by using which bank(s)

-for which timeframe

-on seller's or buyer's ORIGINAL letterhead

-never sanitzed








Don't .......

Don't ask for photos, we are no photo-agency and they aren't worth the sending as they proof nothing.
Don't ask for a "past performance" as it says nothing about the seller's ability to supply tomorrow.
Don't ask for pricing without a buyer's LOI......
Don't ask for a FCO without having a positive response to your buyer's LOI.
Don't believe that the sending of a LOI automatically causes the sending of a FCO or draft contract.
Don't send a mail and ask 5 min later, whether it arrived and we have worked on it.......
Don't think we are machines that do not need to sleep, eat....
Don't believe there were no weekends in western europe when offices are closed (...saturdays and sundays...)
Don't think we had no other person besides you to talk to ..... (your inquiery is important for us, but it is NOT the only we are busy with....)
Don't think that deals about several millions of USD are closed within minutes, hours or a day ......
Don't start an inquiery by telling what commission you have to get .... (no contract closed - no commission - no discussion)....
