‘World's sweetest pineapple’ from Benin makes debut at CIIE

Benin's sugarloaf pineapple is often dubbed ‘the sweetest pineapple in the world’. Now, it is on show for the first time at the ongoing China International Import Expo in Shanghai.

Elysee Kahomey, Benin's assistant ambassador to China, said: "I'm glad our Chinese friends can sample Benin's pineapples.” One ton of pineapples were shipped immediately after being picked in the west African country and arrived in Shanghai on November 3 so that visitors to the Expo could try them, Kahomey said.

Benin is the fourth largest pineapple exporter in Africa, with an annual output of about 400,000 tons, and the main export destination is Europe.
