TUMPAT: Although just entering the market, nanas cobek (a pull-apart pineapple variety) which has been successful in other countries can also be a lucrative crop for farmers here.

Kelantan’s sole grower, Mohd Ali Daim Ibrahim, said the juicy and sweet pineapple which could fetch RM10 per kg was unique because it did not need to be peeled.
