Pineapple farmers in Kerala feel the heat as prices plummet

Pineapple growers are facing a crisis due to rising summer temperatures and a gas shortage. The shortage has led to the closure of many hotels, reducing demand for pineapples. Additionally, the intense summer heat is affecting the yield and size of the fruit, causing prices to drop to an all-time low compared to previous years. This is affecting the livelihood of farmers, making it one of the worst crises for the industry.
