Pineapple is a tropical fruit which grow best under following climatic conditions;
Optimum rainfall- 1500 mm (but can grow in places with 500 mm to 5500 mm rainfall)
Soil type- Can grow on all type of soil (except heavy clay) with good drainage. Ideally soil with slight acidic with pH 5.5 to 6.0 is best.
Altitude- prefer 1500 m above sea level
Temperature- 15.5 to 35.50 degree C. Usually sensitive to extreme temperature
Performs best in the areas with humid weather and in coastal regions.

The Shomal region (Mazandaran and Gilan) seems having the ideal conditions that is required for pineapple cultivation but you have to keep in mind that the crop is very sensitive to long cold temperature. To my understanding shomal area is 1500 to 3000 m above sea level and contain both Caspian shoreline and mountainous region. If the farm is in mountainous region you have to be careful since the region have long cold winter and short mild summer which may effect the quality of fruits.

The pineapples generally grow best in the areas with heavy rainfall (optimum rainfall is 1500 mm per year). Although, it can be grown in the areas having 500 mm to 5550 mm of rainfall.

The pineapples are suitable for cultivation in humid tropics. It grows well near the sea cost as well as in the inland, as long as the temperature are not extreme (ranges from 15.5°C to 32.5°C).

Low temperature, bright sunshine and total shade are harmful for pineapple cultivation. The plants can grow successfully up to 1525 m above the sea level.

You can find more information about starting and operating a commercial pineapple farming business in the following guide. Thank you!

Pineapple farming thrives in warmer climates with well-drained soil. Iran's Shomal area, characterized by a temperate climate, might not be optimal due to its relatively cooler temperatures. Southern regions, like Hormozgan or Bushehr, with warmer conditions, are more suitable for successful pineapple cultivation.
