PINEAPPLE farmers in Johor had to sell their produce at RM1 each to cut their losses due to overproduction as demand for the fruit dropped during this movement control order period, Sinar Harian reported.

Ismail Basiran, 57, said he suffered a big financial loss after 5,000 Morris and Josephine pineapples, which are usually used in cooking, especially for weddings, turned bad after a late harvest since last week.
