The pineapple is one of the important commercial fruit crops of India. The pineapple is cultivating mainly for fruit as it contains vitamins and minerals. Pineapple leaf after harvesting fruit left unutilized in the field cause waste of natural wealth which needs to be explored. The country like Malaysia and china where pineapple cultivated in large extent has developed mechanized machines for extraction of fibre. In India, pineapple is grown in small area and lack of suitable machinery for extraction is hindrance to mechanization of extraction. Few studies have been conducted to develop pineapple leaf fibre extraction machinery in India. This paper reviews the existing conventional methods and mechanization of pineapple leaf fibre extraction along with morphological parameters of leaf which could be used for development of machinery. Further, it highlights research gaps in the mechanization of pineapple leaf fibre extraction.
