The study amongst other things assessed the export performance of pineapple and estimated the determinants of the export demand for pineapple from Nigeria.

The data were analyzed using export performance ratio and multiple regression. The result revealed that Nigeria showed a mixed trend in her export performance for pineapple. It further showed that Nigeria’s output of pineapple and world output volumes were significant determinants of pineapple export from Nigeria at 10 percent level. The R2 value was 0.581 while the F-ratio was 1.386.
