Ananas cosmosus

Pineapple (Ananas cosmosus) is an important tropical fruit. It is the only important fruit crop in the family Bromeliaceae. Its importance is reflected in the ranking of commercial tropical fruits for production on a worldwide basis by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), in which pineapple comes second after bananas

MD2

MD2 was developed to fulfill market demand for fresh pineapples with exceptional sweetness as well as uniformity and consistency in size and ripeness. MD2 was taken to Costa Rica for the first trial industrial planting in the 1980s. MD2 is known by its trade names as “Golden Ripe”, “Super Sweet”, "Rompine" or “Gold”

Better in several qualities

Uniform bright gold color, sweeter taste, four-times Vitamin C content, lower fiber, lower acidity, thinner skin, smaller fruits at an average of 1.5 kg each, and longer shelf life. Additionally, because of its superior eating qualities, MD2 can command three times the price of other pineapple varieties. These are the major factors that have motivated pineapple planters to grow MD2 in Panama
