History & Story of Maui Gold Pineapple

Pineapple cultivation has been central to Maui’s agricultural history for over a century. While large-scale pineapple operations once dominated the island, production declined in the late 20th century.

Maui Gold Pineapple Company continues the legacy by growing the exclusive Maui Gold® variety in Hāliʻimaile, focusing on quality over quantity. Known for its extra-sweet flavor and low acidity, Maui Gold® is harvested fully ripe—unlike most commercially exported pineapples.
