pineapple plantations
Bromeliad crop fields
Pineapple plantations are large-scale agricultural operations dedicated to growing pineapples commercially.
These farms, concentrated in tropical regions like Hawaii, the Philippines, Thailand, and Costa Rica, typically feature vast fields of low-growing spiky plants arranged in rows.
The term evokes both the colonial history of tropical fruit cultivation and modern industrial agriculture.
The pineapple plantations stretched for miles across the coastal lowlands.
