Description
What is the problem ?
The El Nino has affected pineapple production in Thailand.
What is the solution ?
Some companies are quitting the industry altogether. Our

What is the evidence?
Pineapple leaves which would have wasted can be used to
make sustainable textiles.
What is the caveat?
Demand for these textiles is lower than expected.
What should organisations do ?
They should diversify to manage risks, not give in.
Easier said that done, of course.
