Farmers parade bicycles laden with pineapples at a market in Tangail, northwest of Dhaka, Bangladesh, on July 16, 2025. Using bicycles reduces transportation costs, allowing each farmer to carry up to 100 pineapples. After harvest, the fruit is loaded onto bikes and transported through a forest to reach Bangladesh’s largest pineapple market. In Tangail, the country’s primary growing region, pineapples are cultivated on 8,000 hectares of land, producing 300,000 tonnes annually. This thriving cultivation significantly boosts the local agroforestry industry.(Photo by Joy Saha/ZUMA Press Wire/Rex Features/Shutterstock)
