Ivory Coast produces and exports the MD2 pineapple, a hybrid variety known for its exceptional sweetness, low acidity, and long shelf life. The West African nation adopted the MD2 variety to recapture its market share in Europe, which had been lost to Latin American producers offering the same cultivar.
MD2 pineapples from Ivory Coast
A global standard: The MD2 cultivar, also called "Golden Ripe" or "Super Sweet," was originally developed in Hawaii and is now the global standard for fresh pineapple exports.
Key characteristics:
Sweet and low-acidity: It is prized for its high sugar content and mild acidity, which prevents the burning sensation on the tongue common with other varieties.
Golden flesh: When ripe, the fruit's flesh is a rich golden-yellow color.
Long shelf life: This attribute makes it ideal for long-distance international shipping.
Versatile: It is suitable for a wide range of uses, from fresh eating to salads, desserts, and smoothies.
The Ivorian pineapple market and the MD2 transition
Ivory Coast was a historically dominant pineapple exporter to Europe, primarily shipping the older, tangier Smooth Cayenne variety.
Shift in market preference: European consumers began to prefer the sweeter, golden-fleshed MD2 from Latin America, leading to a significant decline in Ivory Coast's pineapple exports from 1999 to 2018.
Adoption of MD2: To revitalize its pineapple sector, Ivory Coast began introducing and cultivating the MD2 variety.
