OUR HISTORY
Since the 1990s, our family has been making a living by selling green Pineapple. In 1995, a Taiwanese company and Mandalay Chanmyatasi started supplying and selling raw materials to the Pineapple Cans processing plant. Since that time, we had the idea to produce and sell pineapple cans and drinks and have begun to study the sciences related to production.
From 1997-98, we supplied and sold pineapple raw materials to a pineapple pulp factory in Bagu 10 Mai Hill. Since then, as a first step, in 2009, we purchased 100 acres of land to grow pineapples and started cultivating pineapples. Since then, we have tried to start pineapple production in connection with a Sri Lankan company.
We began Golding Pineapple Company, Ltd. the Pineapple product producing Company in Shan State in 2017. Currently, Golden Pineapple is cultivated and processed approximately (220) acres (89km2) of pineapple. Golden Pineapple has been in collaboration with 97 farmers in the cultivation of organic pineapple using organic farming techniques since 2015. GP has been supplying CBL Company in Yangon with raw pineapple (2000 tons per year) for Dry Pineapple processing since 2015 to date. GP also supplies fresh pineapple to China. The china market has been consuming about 200 tons per day since 2015.
Golden Pineapple commenced the construction of its factory in 2017 at which time it also started processing the pineapple product as dried pineapple, pineapple juice, and canned pineapple canned in 2018.
