THE purchase of pineapples has increased during their season, according to sellers and con­sumers.

 

Due to the plenty of supply, the price is cheap, and pineapple is a favourable fruit for consum­ers, said a seller.

 

“Pineapple is abundantly available in the monsoon, and both old people and young people enjoy it. People eat it as a snack and also cook it. It is the season when the supply is abundant and the price is also cheap,” said a seller.

 

Some buy them to resell as juice.

 

“Pineapple is rich in Vitamin C and other health benefits. So, we eat it often,” said a woman. — MT/ZS
