The Women Behind the Pineapple 

From the fields to the roadside, the women of Cotonou orchestrate the journey of pineapples through a complex and invisible hierarchy. Through hard labor, sweat, and braving thorny plants, they guide this exquisite, golden fruit—so central to Benin’s economy—along its path. The pineapple, with its sweet juice and crowned shape, is more than a crop; it’s a symbol. A taste of childhood joy, a sip of refreshment in the heat, the yellow crown of the ananas holds a place in the hearts and memories of all who grow up with it.
