I haven't bought any in quite some time, so I am wondering if all canned pineapple now comes from China.   Any information for me?

I always thought the bulk of it came from Hawaii, but maybe that was years ago. I know there is/was a HUGE Dole Pineapple plant there.

I buy the Doles cups in the fruit isle. They are not from China last time I bought them. I can't remember if from the US or some other ctry aside from China.

@Sooner  According to pics online of the can labels, three brands of sliced canned pineapple come from Thailand, Vietnam, or Indonesia.  (not in any order, but the brands were Dole, Del Monte, and Meijeir)

Seems I saw a can from Philippines or Indonesia.

I can't remember the last time I saw pineapple from the USA

Most of the pineapples in the produce  department are from Central America

I just checked a bag of fresh frozen pineapple from Schwans. Country of origin is Costa Rica. Purchased last month.

Looks like the last pineapple processing plant in HI shut in 2009? Sugar production in HI seems to have ceased, too.

@software -

YOU are right, it is the Phillipines for the Dole in fruit juice-

I have a can of Libbys crushed pineapple, product of Thailand, and a can of Dole and it is a product of the Philippines. Learn something new everyday. 

I don't know why, I just thought it would be California or Hawaii.

I looked at every can of every fruit product one day at the store

Nothing from the USA
