How much of a problem is salinity around the world,effecting crop production.
i think thats correct,Is that the cause of large areas of saline soils in Australia and Eastern Block countries?

Very interesting to read through this thread of agriculture from around the world some very interesting stories.
I myself have been working out in Central America for the last 2 and a half years in the production of Bananas and mainly Pineapples, I spent nearly a year in Belize on banana operations and the last year and a half at Pineapples in Costa Rica and Panama. The work here is very hands on, and on the farm I am on now which is 480HA we have a workforce of 375 full time staff all whom speak spanish.
We export produce mainly to mainland Europe, Uk and Ireland and then up to the USA and some to the Caribbean and down to Chile. We grow and pack ourselves 8 million boxes of Pineapples each year so thats about 75 million single pineapples.
I come from a dairy farm in Tipperary so the world of Tropical farming was all new to me!
Any questions just ask, I will upload photos.
Welcome along, looking forward to reading about Pineapple production & seeing the photos, are they propagated from seed, and how long to bear fruit, do they re fruit?
