| Use advice for data set | When using this dataset for Life Cycle Assessment, consider the specific practices of chemical fertilizer and pesticide application detailed for the growth stage. Ensure that the moral aspect of chemical usage is understood as it pertains to regional guidelines and certifications. The dataset should be adjusted to reflect any changes in cultivation practices, and variations in yield due to climatic or regional differences. Exclude any post-harvest processes such as transportation, storage, and retail from this dataset to focus solely on the actual cultivation impacts during the specified life stages of pineapple production. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | This dataset describes the cultivation process for pineapple production on a 1-hectare farm in Costa Rica and is intended to be used for environmental impact assessments of fresh pineapple supply chains. It outlines the application of chemical fertilizers and pesticides during the growth stage and the acquisition of pineapple fruit during the harvest stage, which may be applicable for studies in agricultural efficiency, sustainable farming practices, and supply chain optimization. |
