Kenya is known for producing high-quality pineapples that are comparable to those grown in other leading pineapple-producing countries. Here are some key factors that contribute to the quality of pineapples in Kenya:

Kenya's tropical climate with warm temperatures and abundant sunshine provides favorable conditions for pineapple cultivation. Pineapples thrive in warm temperatures between 20 to 32 degrees Celsius (68 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit) and require a frost-free environment, which Kenya offers.

Pineapples in Kenya are cultivated in well-drained soils with good fertility. The volcanic soils found in certain regions, such as Thika and Murang'a, are rich in nutrients and contribute to the overall quality of the pineapples.

Kenya primarily cultivates the Smooth Cayenne and MD2 pineapple varieties. These varieties are known for their sweet and juicy flavor, as well as their suitability for both local consumption and export markets. The choice of these varieties contributes to the quality of the pineapples produced in the country.
